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 flow is driven from the CLI. The launched browser can access the APXY Web UI at http://localhost:8082 like any other browser.
CLI
The apxy proxy browser command is part of the proxy command group; see CLI Reference → Proxy for current flags and behavior.
Quick example:
apxy proxy browser https://myapp.comThe launched Chrome instance typically:
- Routes 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
Start the proxy, then launch the proxy browser against your app URL — you get a clean session without changing your daily-driver Chrome profile.
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
Because the browser trusts the APXY CA, you can inspect HTTPS traffic without manual certificate installation in your main browser.
