I remember reading somewhere about a self hosted application that would work like a proxy. But not http/https like NPM but all the network traffic.

I may be misremembering but what caught my attention at the time was the possibility to log communication packets. It was months ago and I ended up forgetting about it.

My use case would be monitoring communication with a device I’m developing an app for.

    tcpdump, wireshark can capture packets.

    haproxy can be a proxy of many networking protocols

    mitmproxy can help see encrypted traffic by acting as a literal man in the middle.

    ssh with certain parameters can become a SOCKS5 proxy to encrypt and tunnel traffic out of a hostile network
