Browser Integration

APXY can launch a Chrome browser instance pre-configured to route traffic through the proxy with the CA certificate trusted. This eliminates manual browser proxy setup.

Web UI

This is a CLI command that launches Chrome. The launched browser can access the APXY Web UI at http://localhost:8082 like any other browser.

CLI

Open a proxy-configured browser

# Launch Chrome with proxy pre-configured
apxy proxy browser
 
# Open a specific URL
apxy proxy browser https://myapp.com

The launched Chrome instance:

  • Routes all traffic through the APXY proxy
  • Trusts the APXY CA certificate (no SSL warnings)
  • Uses a separate profile (isolated from your regular Chrome)

Use Cases

Quick isolated debugging

Launch a clean browser session without affecting your regular browser:

apxy start
apxy proxy browser https://myapp.com

Test with clean cookies

The proxy browser uses a separate profile, so you start with no cookies or cached data — useful for testing login flows or first-time user experiences.

Test HTTPS interception

Since the browser already trusts the APXY CA, you can inspect HTTPS traffic immediately without manual certificate setup.
