FAQ
Is TonyProxy free?
Section titled “Is TonyProxy free?”Check tonyapps.org for current pricing/licensing.
Does TonyProxy see my traffic in the cloud?
Section titled “Does TonyProxy see my traffic in the cloud?”No — capture, storage, and decryption all happen locally on your Mac. Nothing you capture is sent anywhere unless you explicitly export/share it yourself.
Can I use TonyProxy on multiple Macs / share captures with a teammate?
Section titled “Can I use TonyProxy on multiple Macs / share captures with a teammate?”Yes — export a session as TonyPack (encrypted) or HAR and send the file. Each TonyProxy install has its own CA, so a shared TonyPack decrypts fine (it’s just encrypted with your export password, unrelated to the CA), but a HAR captured on one Mac just works anywhere HAR is supported.
Why does reinstalling TonyProxy break HTTPS decryption?
Section titled “Why does reinstalling TonyProxy break HTTPS decryption?”Reinstalling generates a brand-new CA — the previously-trusted one no longer matches. See Certificate Problems.
Can TonyProxy capture traffic from another device without installing anything on it?
Section titled “Can TonyProxy capture traffic from another device without installing anything on it?”No — HTTPS decryption fundamentally requires that device to trust TonyProxy’s CA, since MITM decryption only works if the client accepts a certificate signed by a CA it trusts. Plain HTTP traffic can be captured without any device-side setup, but virtually all real-world traffic today is HTTPS.
Does TonyProxy work with certificate-pinned apps?
Section titled “Does TonyProxy work with certificate-pinned apps?”No — pinning is specifically designed to defeat proxies like this one. See HTTPS Decryption Issues.
Where’s my data stored?
Section titled “Where’s my data stored?”Locally, in ~/Library/Application Support/TonyProxy/ (or a suffixed variant if you’re running a Dev/Sandbox build alongside Production).
How do I report a bug or request a feature?
Section titled “How do I report a bug or request a feature?”Use Report Issue from the About TonyProxy window.
