# Use Vault Proxy built-in persistent caching
Vault Proxy can restore tokens and leases from a persistent cache file created
by a previous Vault Proxy process. The persistent cache is a BoltDB file that
includes tuples encrypted by a generated encryption key. The encrypted tuples
include the Vault token used to retrieve secrets, leases for tokens/secrets, and
secret values.
In order to use Vault Proxy persistent cache, auto-auth must be used. If the
auto-auth token has expired by the time the cache is restored, the cache will
be invalidated and secrets will need to be re-fetched from Vault.
-> **Note** Vault Proxy persistent cache is currently supported only in a
Kubernetes environment.
## Vault Proxy persistent cache types
Please see the sidebar for available types and their usage/configuration.
## Persistent cache example configuration
Here is an example of a persistent cache configuration.
```hcl
# Other Vault Proxy configuration blocks
# ...
cache {
persist "kubernetes" {
path = "/vault/proxy-cache"
}
}
```
