Show HN: Intercept network traffic right on your iPhone

Hey this is actually pretty useful!<p>I understand the need for installing a certificate to capture SSL, but it would be nice if you could just roll your own root CA cert. The documentation is not clear wether this is possible...<p>The link to the user guide on the itunes page is 404. (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;peek.tools&#x2F;ios&#x2F;guide" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;peek.tools&#x2F;ios&#x2F;guide</a>)<p>Is it possible to view the requests on the mac instead of the phone as well?<p>Other than that, looks really useful, I&#x27;ll try it out next time the need arises.

Cool. But I&#x27;m not sure what the value is of putting this on the phone you are targeting, rather than on a computer on the same wifi network (or a VPN). Why not just use fiddler&#x2F;charles&#x2F;mitmproxy&#x2F;burp on your computer? Doesn&#x27;t the desktop interface lend itself much better to something like proxy debugging?<p>On another note, if you want this to work on cellphone networks as well as wifi, could you create a local VPN server (I think this is possible with swift), connect to it via the iOS tun API and then use the proxy on its local VPN address?<p>When I want to intercept iOS traffic, I connect to a VPN with proxy settings to a mitmproxy instance running on the VPN subnet.
