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

Clawchrome uses a mitm proxy like this for network capture of a browser. I had my agent test using network capture with playwright, then again with simple HAR style reconstruction of the mitm proxy capture. It was just as effective.

Check it out if you want to give your agent a real browser, no cdp. clawchrome.com

How does it compare to mitmproxy?

I don't see how you actually see the web interface for the traffic it is tossing, and that is not explained in your readme so far as I have found.

I have it running in docker with docker run --rm \ --name oproxy \ --ulimit nofile=65535:65535 \ -p 8080:8080 \ -p 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

and I set the proxy to use it, and it appears to work, but I don't have a way to see what it is doing.

If you try it out, I'd appreciate feedback on the assistant. It's still experimental but I am curious about its usability.

I can understand the motivation for CLI-based clients, but the browser built-in network inspector overlaps a lot.

There is more to Oproxy with traffic shaping but would it be enough to convince ? Spawning a Docker is easy today but it would be less friction with a normal app imho.
