> debugProxy is a HTTP/S hosted proxy server that lets you interact with the traffic passing through it, using a web based dashboard.

So, when I use your proxy you can see and store my http and https traffic (assuming I install the certificate in my device). Furthermore, all the traffic from the my pc to your proxy is also transmitted unencrypted so everyone who sits between my device and your proxy can see my traffic as well.

While this interface looks really cool and it is probably feature rich, I will pass using it because of those privacy concerns. If anyone is interested in a local http(s) proxy, check out mitmproxy[0] which is open source, runs locally and is easy to install (I’m not affiliated with them, i use use mitmproxy occasionally when Reverse Engineering am API).
