Configure Browser to use Reaper

It is recommended to use a browser extension to manage your proxy use. Tools like this allow you to quickly switch between proxies and configure particular proxies for particular URLs. This means you can configure your browser to only use Reaper for a target web application, and route all other traffic as usual. You can use the proxy address 127.0.0.1:8080 to send traffic through Reaper. Finally, you should test your setup.

Configuring CLI Tools to use Reaper

Many CLI tools support proxying through an HTTP proxy. You can use the proxy address 127.0.0.1:8080 to send traffic through Reaper.

Many CLI tools respect the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables (most often lower case, but it’s worth trying both permutations). You can set these variables to the proxy address 127.0.0.1:8080 to send traffic through Reaper.

Remember to test your setup.
