Termux mitmrpoxy installation

Tested on Android 13 with mitmproxy 10.1.5, Python 3.11.6.

Install required system packages

pkg upgrade
pkg install python pipx rust binutils

Setup pipx:

pipx ensurepath
source .bashrc

Set necessary C compiler flags

This flag is required for building ruamel.yaml.clib (see termux/termux-packages#16746):

export CFLAGS="-Wno-incompatible-function-pointer-types"

Install mitmproxy

pipx install mitmproxy

Run

Run mitmproxy, mitmweb or mitmdump.

Notes

  • if you need to intercept and analyze requests from a certain Android application, you can use ProxyDroid to force that application to use mitmweb as proxy server;
  • to install mitmproxy CA certificate, grab it from .mitmproxy directory and install it using Android system settings:
termux-setup-storage
cp ~/.mitmproxy/mitmproxy-ca-cert.pem ~/storage/downloads/
  • to make the mitmproxy CA certificate trusted, you can use MagiskTrustUserCerts Magisk module to make the certificate part of the system certificate store.
