What if I want to intercept the local computer's net steam, like the HTTP requests sent by my browser?

Hey!

Yep. Mitm.js just intercepts connections from within your Node.js process. Its primary use case is for testing. You can assert on a request and fake the response to see if your code works as you expect.

If you want to wiretap or change requests for the whole computer, look at tools like Wireshark or for man-in-the-middle proxy servers.

I'll close this issue for bookkeeping, but feel free to chat. ;-)
