I've used mitm proxies, the problem is I don't know whether the software is behaving the same way under a proxy as it would normally.
Edit: To be clear, I'm not even suggesting the software would be doing this maliciously! Apps do all sorts of weird things when you try to proxy them, I know this because I do run most of my traffic through a proxy (for non-privacy reasons). Just for example, QUIC gets disabled.
- kelnos 1y agoIf you're that worried about software being that devious, then you probably shouldn't be using that software at all, regardless of your ability to monitor its traffic.
- Wowfunhappy 1y agoI guess I think it's relatively more paranoid to worry about the ISP being that devious.
- Eduard 1y agothis isn't solely about the aspect you're hinting at: plenty of smart appliances are effectively useless/inoperarive if not interacted with with their accompanying proprietary (shitty) smartphone app. Developing an alternative app requires reverse engineering; that's when you realize the current state of the art is obfuscating and encrypting each and every network layer even for gadgets as mundane as an RGB mood light.
