A free, MIT-licensed HTTP(S) debugging proxy for Windows and macOS that captures, inspects, edits, and replays web traffic.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-22 issue.

For: Windows and macOS web developers debugging HTTP traffic
Worth noticing: The page says VioLens restores system proxy settings when it exits and supports company proxies using PAC scripts and sign-in.

Field notes

The described workflow includes a locally created root certificate for HTTPS inspection, with VioLens acting as the system proxy while it runs. The page also says it restores proxy settings on exit and can route through company proxies, including PAC scripts and sign-in. Its separate .NET proxy engine is presented as a NuGet library with hooks modeled on Fiddler.
