Capture with Explicit Proxy#

Listen on a port and point any client at it yourself, with or without changing the host proxy settings.

Use Explicit Proxy to point a specific client at the proxy yourself. GraphDagger launches nothing.

GraphDagger listens on the configured port (default 8888) and intercepts any client that connects.

Start an Explicit Proxy capture#

  1. Pick Explicit Proxy in the capture-source dropdown.
  2. Decide whether GraphDagger reconfigures the host operating system automatically. The System Proxy checkbox in the settings menu controls this. System Proxy appears only for the Explicit Proxy source.
  3. Select Record.

If System Proxy is on, GraphDagger reconfigures the operating system to route its traffic through the proxy. If it is off, you point clients at the proxy yourself. For example, set the HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables, configure a browser's proxy settings, or point an app at the proxy address.

Stop an Explicit Proxy capture#

When you select Stop, GraphDagger restores the previous system proxy settings, if it changed them at the start.
