WebProxyTool captures and displays all network data that your device and installed apps transmit and receive. How It Works: The app creates a local on-device server and routes all outgoing HTTPS traffic through it. The app locally generates a trust certificate that should be installed and trusted to securely decrypt HTTPS traffic. When it is done, WebProxyTool captures HTTPS requests, makes dummy leaf certificates for requested domains, and acts as a man-in-the-middle proxy to read network data. Importantly, data is stored only in a local device database, ensuring user privacy, and WebProxyTool developers do not have access to it. The app works without any remote servers involved. Privacy Statement: 1. The configuration profile and trust certificate are generated and used only locally on your device. 2. The app does not collect any data about the user, the user's device, or other apps used on that device, and thus the app does not sell, use, or disclose to third parties any data for any purpose. 3. The captured HTTPS traffic never leaves your device. Terms of Service: https://webproxytool.com/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://webproxytool.com/privacy-policy

Both are free to download. WebProxyTool sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Storm Sniffer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WebProxyTool holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 310 and 121 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of WebProxyTool's written reviews are positive against 76% of Storm Sniffer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WebProxyTool ships an update every 8 days, Storm Sniffer monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
