Instead of mitmproxy
mitmproxy alternatives
mitmproxy is a free toolkit for intercepting and changing HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and WebSocket traffic, including SSL/TLS. It can save conversations for later analysis and replay requests or recorded responses. Its console, browser-based interface, and terminal output suit different workflows, while proxy modes range from local capture and WireGuard to transparent, SOCKS5, and upstream. Python addons can change proxy behavior, and WireGuard can capture traffic from external devices or individual Android apps.

A switch may make sense if HTTP/3 client replay is central: mitmproxy says that replay is currently broken and that HTTP/3 testing has focused extensively on cURL. Dependencies in its precompiled binaries and Docker images cannot be updated in place, so the project recommends regular updates. The alternatives below include residential proxy networks, filtering tools, and caching servers rather than only traffic-inspection toolkits. Compare whether you need to edit conversations, route requests through location-targeted residential IPs, filter pages, or manage caching and access controls. Platform fit, session behavior, and price also matter: several options are free, while network services charge.
