How can i make it work with authenticated remote proxy ?

How can i make it work with authenticated remote proxy ?

That would be great for me too :)

Any way to select another destination in run-time?

I have done a fork with a proxy with an embedded (basic) authentication module: https://github.com/westphilm/forwardproxy

Thanks for this! I made a version which transforms a HTTP proxy requiring authentication into one which hides the authentication: https://gitlab.com/athrix/gunya

How to doing this with Socks proxy?

Why it cant print https request messages?

can this work on redirect the traffic to s3 bucket (public-website) ?
