As long as the VPN is active, Proxyman iOS can capture all traffic over Wi-Fi and cellular Data. ### How about my sensitive data? - Proxyman Root Certificate is a self-signed certificate that is generated on your local machine. Thus, all requests and responses are captured and stored on your devices and Proxyman does not have access to your data. - There are no remote servers involved. What’s in your devices, it’s in your devices. ************* - Support: https://proxyman.com/support - Privacy Policy: https://proxyman.com/privacy - Terms of Services: https://proxyman.com/terms-of-use

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cable Qualifier at none against Proxyman's 5. Cable Qualifier also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Proxyman's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
