Cheat Sheet

gprox was built to be a no-dependency development tool for simply proxying HTTPS traffic to a local HTTP endpoint. It was written as a port of local-ssl-proxy, a perfectly good NodeJS app for the same purpose. But the benefit is that you can install gprox very simply from webi or go (if you must), and you dont have to worry at all about NodeJS versions, etc! Plus there isn't any elevated access given to an interpreter you dont know much about if you're using webi.

The fastest way to get started is just by running:

gprox
# example output
# 9:12PM INF Running proxy! from=https://localhost:9001 to=http://localhost:9000

And you're off to the races!

That is... if you're app happens to be running on port 9000. If not, no worries! Simply pass the target port option -t, --target and specify the port your app is running on.

gprox -t 8080

Feeling like you should save this magic built-in cert so you can inspect it for anything?

gprox --dropcert

Want to use your own cert/key?

gprox -c testcert.crt -k testkey.key

And for anything else, just use the -h, --help flag to get a little more information or refer to the README:

❯ gprox --help
