This looks great! My only frustration is not with mitmproxy, but macOS -- setting a proxy in System Preferences->Network isn't a guarantee that it will be used by apps, and there doesn't appear to be a clean way to force all traffic through a proxy.

If you can run mitmproxy on another device, then our new WireGuard mode does exactly fix that problem. At least as long as WireGuard is able to capture all traffic. :)

Transparent same-device interception is something where we still need to do some work on. I've started some work for Windows (https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/pull/5543), but the top priority is HTTP/3 first. :)

Isn't that closer to what a VPN would try to do than a proxy? I guess it depends on whether you mean all traffic on the machine or only the kind of traffic that travels over proxies (I think socks4/5 are special cases and presumably not what you meant on a post about mitmproxy)

I was just thinking TCP, although since mitmproxy now supports UDP perhaps it can be all traffic?
