2 years ago When I installed proxyman it overwrote our proxy and prevented me from accessing our network
You can opt out of this behavior in Preference -> General -> Switch OFF "Auto override System Proxy" at launch.
It's possible this is not the goal of this project. Currently, this seems like less of a proxy and more like wireshark, a packet sniffer.
You're right. The primary goal of Proxyman is intercepting the HTTP/HTTPS traffic, not a proxy layer.
To use Proxyman and your proxy server, you can set up:
- Set System Proxy to Proxyman, IP = 127.0.0.1, port = 9090
- On Proxyman, use External Proxy and set HTTP/HTTPS Proxy to your proxy server.
=> All traffic from Mac will be record be Proxyman, and it proxies to your proxy server before going to the Internet.
So in corporate environment we have a very ... invasive/strict proxy. When I installed proxyman it overwrote our proxy and prevented me from accessing our network as well as (due to escalation privileges) actually being able to uninstall it myself. What I was hoping to do with this program was stand up a proxy that proxies to our proxy on a certain port. I also didn't expect it to spy on literally everything. It's possible this is not the goal of this project. Currently this seems like less of a proxy and more like wireshark, a packet sniffer.
