HttpToolkit without VPN

[mrafieefard]

Hello, do you have any plans to allow users to use HTTP Toolkit without VPN I found an app that debugs connections without VPN ( But the phone should be rooted )
PCAPdroid can debug without a VPN

Why you should add this

• Some services may not be available with that internet and we should use VPNs to bypass it
• Some apps can't work with VPNs and if you turn on VPN they don't allow you to use the app

Yes! That's going to be part of the solution to #310.

If you're comfortable setting up & using Frida, you can do this today by using the interception scripts at https://github.com/httptoolkit/frida-interception-and-unpinning/

That said, regarding:

Some services may not be available with that internet and we should use VPNs to bypass it

It sounds like you want to use a different VPN on the phone. That probably won't work as you expect, because the device has to be able to connect to the computer on your local network. It's fine though - if you want the upstream connection to go via a VPN, you just need to connect your computer to the VPN instead of your phone and it should work as intended.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, because I think PCAPdroid is generally doing the same thing we are, using the Android VPN APIs. The top of their README specifically says "PCAPdroid simulates a VPN in order to capture the network traffic without root". Do they have some other mechanism that you're using somewhere?
