- Captures and displays network data
- Routes HTTPS traffic locally
- Decrypts HTTPS traffic
- Generates local trust certificate
- Man-in-the-middle proxy functionality
- Local data storage for privacy

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

TunnelSight is your on-device network microscope, built for iOS and purpose-crafted for developers, network engineers, and security researchers who need real-time, packet-level visibility into every HTTP and HTTPS transaction. Install your unique per-device root CA once, start TunnelSight’s Local VPN tunnel, and instantly see every request, response, header, and body live, decoded, and ready for analysis. With the new on-device scripting engine, you can rewrite headers, mutate bodies, swap URIs, or short-circuit responses in flight, all driven by JavaScript you author and dry-run from your iPhone or iPad. Key Features • Live Packet Interception Local VPN plus MITM proxy architecture captures all HTTP and HTTPS traffic on-device with zero cloud dependency. • cURL-Exact Replay For any intercepted request, generate a ready-to-run cURL command to reproduce the exchange in your terminal with headers, method, and body intact. • JSON Export and Reporting One-tap export of request and response pairs as structured JSON. Integrate with your CI, SIEM, or custom tooling. • Smart Caching and Filtering Cache responses on demand. Define URL, header, or content filters to focus on what matters. • Searchable Session History Full-text search across captured traffic so you can find specific API calls quickly. • Secure Per-Device Root CA Automatically generates a self-signed root certificate unique to each device. Simple one-time install with no shared keys. • Remote Device Debugging (Pro Feature) Optionally inspect traffic from another device you control by manually configuring it to use TunnelSight as a proxy. Requires explicit setup and certificate installation on that device. Designed for testing and debugging across multiple devices. • On-Device Scripting Engine Write JavaScript scripts that intercept and mutate live traffic. Rewrite headers, bodies, URIs, and methods, change response status codes, or short-circuit a request with a synthetic response. Chain multiple scripts in order, scope them with URL and method matchers, and validate every change against a real captured packet using the built-in dry-run preview before going live. Start from packet-aware templates generated straight from any captured request. Why TunnelSight? • Zero-Trust Testing Validate your mobile app’s backend calls under real network conditions. • On-Device Debugging No desktop proxy required. Debug directly from your iPhone or iPad. • Multi-Device Testing Debug requests from additional devices using the optional Pro feature. • Audit and Compliance Export logs for penetration testing, audits, or bug bounties. Disclaimers and Legal Notices 1. Intended Use Only TunnelSight is designed for lawful testing, debugging, and security research on networks and applications for which you have explicit permission. Unauthorized interception or decryption of traffic may violate local laws and regulations. 2. User Responsibility By installing the TunnelSight root certificate and using the Local VPN, you acknowledge the security implications of a device-wide MITM proxy. You are solely responsible for safeguarding your device and certificates. 3. Privacy and Data Handling All packet capture and analysis is performed locally on your device. TunnelSight does not transmit captured data to any external server. However, exported files may contain sensitive information and should be handled accordingly. 4. No Warranty and Limitation of Liability TunnelSight is provided as is without warranty of any kind. In no event shall the developers be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from use or inability to use the software. 5.
