httptoolkit VS graftcp

HTTP Toolkit, you will need to install one in your PC and another one in the emulator.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but if you could side-load on windows this app should work. https://httptoolkit.com/

use https://httptoolkit.com/ but it's getting a bit off-topic :)

I run HTTP Toolkit (https://httptoolkit.com) which passed $2k a couple of years back. No longer a side project, as it's made enough money for me to work on it full time for a fair while now, but it certainly started that way, and it's still a one-man show (plus many wonderful open-source contributors).

I suspect that'll be a common theme in answers here though: if you have a side project making $2k a month, in most of the world that's enough for you to go full-time and try to take it further. If you can make $2k/month on something working only part-time, you can definitely make a lot more if you focus on it.

On your questions: HTTP Toolkit is a desktop app (plus a mobile app and other components for integrations) but it's an Electron app that effectively functions as a SaaS (with a freemium subscription model) that just happens to have a component that runs on your computer. And actually getting to $2k wasn't overnight at all - it took a couple of years of slow steady slog. A few inflection points that made a notable difference (releasing rewriting support & Android support particularly) but mostly it was a matter of "just keep pushing", trusting the trajectory would keep going, and steadily grinding upwards. It's great where it is now, but it's hard work - a solo business is not for the faint of heart!

you can use tools like https://httptoolkit.com/ to check the requests

Thanks, that's super useful.

> If you try to use go's package manager, example: `go get golang.org/x/oauth2`

I just tested, and `go get golang.org/x/oauth2` seems to work fine for me, I can see all the requests being happily intercepted immediately: https://imgur.com/a/Cb1y9Q2

Can you see the 500 in HTTP Toolkit, and any more info there (in the body or as an error at the top) related to that? Or can you see a "certificate rejected" message? If nothing turns up there at all then yes, something must be overriding the proxy configuration.

Maybe you have some other Go package manager configuration that conflicts with this? I'd be very interested to know about that if so, I'm sure there's others with the same thing. It's always very hard to know if my configuration is representative of normal devs for any given language/tool.

Probably best to debug this outside of a HN thread though :-). You can file a proper issue about this at https://github.com/httptoolkit/httptoolkit/issues/new, I'd love to know what's going on there and get this fixed.

> I ended up using https://github.com/hmgle/graftcp which somehow manages to force tcp traffic through a socks5 proxy.

Really interesting, thanks! I'll look into that.

unfortunately golang doesn't work with proxychains :( but you can still use other tools such as graftcp or specify a proxy with the -x or --proxy flag that uses multiple proxy's like multitor or just use the tor proxy which is the simplest way.
