Quick Start

1. Start the proxy

proxelar

This starts Proxelar in forward proxy mode with the interactive TUI on 127.0.0.1:8080.

2. Install the CA certificate

Configure your system or browser proxy to 127.0.0.1:8080, then visit http://proxel.ar through the proxy. The page provides direct certificate downloads and platform-specific installation instructions.

Alternatively, manually install ~/.proxelar/proxelar-ca.pem. See CA Certificate for all platforms.

3. Browse through the proxy

All HTTP and HTTPS traffic now flows through Proxelar and appears in the TUI. Press ? for the full keybinding reference, or see Interfaces for details on the TUI, terminal, and web GUI modes.

4. Try a Lua script

Create a file called script.lua:

function on_request(request)
    request.headers["X-Proxied-By"] = "proxelar"
    return request
end

Run Proxelar with the script:

proxelar --script script.lua

Every request passing through the proxy now has the X-Proxied-By header injected.
