Proxy

VirtuProbe includes a built-in SOCKS5 MITM proxy that sits between your client and the target server. A DevTools-style UI lets you inspect every request and response in real time — including raw bodies, decompressed payloads, and binary frames.

Starting the proxy

Set the Port the proxy should listen on in the toolbar, then click Start. Point your client’s SOCKS5 proxy settings at localhost on that port.

Setting	Default
Host	localhost
Port	1080

Inspecting exchanges

Each TCP exchange appears in the list as it flows through the proxy. Click an entry to inspect it.

The detail panel shows:

• Request — raw bytes sent by the client
• Response — raw bytes returned by the server
• Direction and timestamp for each chunk

Body decompression

Compressed response bodies (gzip, deflate, Brotli) can be decompressed server-side. Click Decompress on an exchange to see the readable payload. All three encodings are supported, including Brotli which browsers cannot decompress natively via the standard API.

SSL/TLS traffic

The proxy can handle SSL connections. For HTTPS interception, configure your client to trust the proxy’s certificate.

Caution

MITM interception of TLS traffic requires the target client to trust the proxy’s CA certificate. Use this only against systems you own or have explicit authorization to test.
