Show HN: Oproxy – inspect and modify network traffic from the browser

oproxy is a local HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxy for inspecting, replaying, and modifying traffic.

It is for developers testing browsers, CLIs, mobile apps, API clients, services, and test suites on their own machine or in a local Docker container.

• Capture HTTP traffic and HTTPS traffic after trusting the local oproxy CA.
• View requests, responses, headers, bodies, status, timing, tags, notes, and selected inspector data.
• Replay captured requests and open them in Compose.
• Build manual requests with headers, query params, auth, raw bodies, variables, collections, and cURL export.
• Export captures as HAR or generated cURL, Fetch, and Python snippets.
• Modify traffic with rule sets, map-remote, map-local, access rules, throttling, breakpoints, mock responses, DNS overrides, capture filters, Lua scripts, and upstream proxy chaining.
• Use the authenticated Assistant to inspect state and prepare confirmed proxy changes through an OpenAI-compatible chat model.
• Run from source or Docker with persistent volumes for CA material and local state.

docker run --rm \
--name oproxy \
-p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
-p 127.0.0.1:1080:1080 \
-e OPROXY_BIND_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
-e OPROXY_MITM_ENABLED=true \
-v oproxy-certs:/app/certs \
-v oproxy-storage:/app/storage \
ghcr.io/sauravrao637/oproxy:latest

Open http://127.0.0.1:8080

.

Or build locally:

docker build -t oproxy:latest .

docker compose up --build

The included Compose file uses host networking, persists /app/certs

and /app/storage

, and sets OPROXY_BIND_HOST=0.0.0.0

.

Requirements:

• Rust 1.85 or newer
• Node.js 22 or newer
• Yarn via Corepack

corepack enable
yarn --cwd src/design install --frozen-lockfile
yarn --cwd src/design build
cargo run --release

Open http://127.0.0.1:8080

.

curl -x http://127.0.0.1:8080 http://example.com

The request appears in the Sessions view.

curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/ca -o oproxy-ca.crt
curl --cacert oproxy-ca.crt -x http://127.0.0.1:8080 https://example.com

For browser HTTPS capture, install the CA from http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/ca

into the browser or OS trust store.

• Act as a forward HTTP proxy on OPROXY_PORT

/port

, default8080

. - Serve the local management UI and API from the same listener.

• Intercept HTTPS CONNECT traffic when MITM is enabled and the client trusts the generated CA.
• Optionally listen for SOCKS5 CONNECT traffic on socks5_port

. - Optionally run a second TLS listener with https_port

. - Capture live sessions in memory with bounded session and body retention.

• Save and load sessions explicitly with admin endpoints.

• Export HAR, cURL, Fetch, and Python snippets, redacted by default.

• Import HAR files and oproxy JSON session data.

• Stream session-change notifications with server-sent events.

• Inspect JWT, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket frame metadata when matching traffic is captured.

• Debug a browser or CLI request without changing application code.

• Replay a captured request after editing headers or body in Compose.

• Test a frontend against mock responses or local fixture files.

• Route a subset of traffic to a staging service.

• Reproduce slow or bandwidth-limited responses.

• Pause matching requests or responses before they continue.

• Validate how a client behaves when requests are blocked, redirected, or rewritten.
