  3. Enable the system proxy — WePROXA can automatically configure your Mac’s system proxy settings. Click the network icon in the toolbar to toggle it on.

  4. (Optional) Auto-start on launch — in Settings you can enable Auto-start proxy and Auto-start LAN access so WePROXA is ready to capture traffic as soon as you open it.

  5. Install the CA certificate — to inspect HTTPS traffic, go to Settings → Certificates and click Install to macOS Keychain. This is a one-time setup. See Certificate Trust for details.

  6. Enable SSL for a host — click the lock icon in the toolbar and add the hosts you want to inspect (e.g., api.example.com or *.example.com). Alternatively, right-click any request and select Enable SSL. See SSL Interception for details.

  7. Browse the web — open your browser or app and make some requests. They’ll appear in the request list in real time.

  8. Inspect a request — click on any request in the list to see its full details: headers, body, timing, and more.
