I am following this instruction http://docs.telerik.com/fiddler/Configure-Fiddler/Tasks/ConfigureForiOS. Everything works until section Set the iOS Device Proxy.
Once I set the proxy on my iPhone, I can't connect to the internet from the phone anymore. Not even accessing the echo page, which I could access before turning on the proxy on the phone. I already installed the root cert on my phone, the makecert add-on on Fiddler
Could someone help with ideas to diagnose the issue here? Thanks,
What might be stopping your iphone from reaching your Fiddler machine on the port specified, usually 8888?
Have you a firewall on the Fiddler machine? You might need to open
the port.
Does your LAN have an automatic redirect to a login page? Ours
does, so I have to disable the proxy on the iphone while I login,
then reenable it.
Does your LAN expose the IPs of cable-connected machines to WIFI
users? Not all do.
Can you browse a simple web page on your Fiddler machine from your
iphone, before starting fiddler or doing any proxy configuration?
You might need to get really serious and install a ping utility on the iphone.

First of, I can see on traffic coming through when I browse on my desktop.
I have set the IP in network settings along with the port but when I connect I do not get the do you want to connect this phone message from Charles.
I have:
deleted all certificates and tried to go to chls.pro/ssl but get no internet message and the certificate doesn't download.
tried ios and android both with the same result.
tried to manually add it to the access devices in Charles.
The only difference is from two weeks ago when I last did this successfully is the VPN I am on (I open the Charles before connecting to the VPN, to rule that out).
Any suggestions? I am going crazy!
There are various issues that can cause this issue: I collect here and you can verify each step to solve it: https://docs.proxyman.io/troubleshooting/my-ios-devices-couldnt-connect-to-proxyman-via-proxy
I would like to summarize:
Check if your Firewall is blocking all incoming traffic -> Turn it OFF
Stop all VPN app from your iOS device
Make sure your iOS devices and your macOS are in the same network.
Disclaimer: I create the Proxyman app, which is a modern version of Charles-Proxy. Hopefully it helps you resolve the problem.
I am trying to view the HTTP traffic going from my Xbox One using charles proxy. However, as Xbox One doesn't allow you to use a proxy this is finding out to be difficult.
I have tried using my laptop's internet connection through ethernet cable from the Xbox One to my laptop, but I cannot see the traffic on Charles.
Does anyone know of a way I can see this traffic?
If you have the dev home app for xbox installed on your xbox it is possible to setup a Charles proxy to monitor the HTTP traffic.
Follow these steps to install the dev home:
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-activate-dev-mode-your-xbox-one-console
Once the dev home app is installed you can enable the device portal on your xbox:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/debug-test-perf/device-portal-xbox
This is where things get a little hacky, but your going to end up using Charles instead of Fiddler to monitor your devices traffic. You will need to install Fiddler to get a FiddlerRoot.cer (http://docs.telerik.com/fiddler/Configure-Fiddler/Tasks/FirefoxHTTPS), which you upload to your xbox through the network page in the xbox device portal. Then you simply enter your laptops IP address in the "Host IP address" field, and the Fiddler port is the port number defined in your Charles Proxy Settings.
Then you press the Enable button, which will prompt you to restart your xbox. Select the Restart button, and once your xbox restart you will begin to see HTTP traffic in Charles.
Get a homebrew router with linux installed. Then you any linux TCP sniffer tool filtered by IP address to view the traffic. Similarly, you should be able to do the same in the setup you have now.
Does this work for your current setup via bootcamp?
If its connected through wireless, you could also just use a wireless sniffer. However I imagine you would want to look at the contents so this may pose a hurdle with encryption.
I'm trying to test my iPhone application on the device.
I have a mac computer which stores my development environment.
Right now I can only access PHP files using the http://localhost/PHPFileLocation
which does not work when I try to test my app on real device.
How do I configure apache2 to be accessible from outside?
Is it possible to configure it to a specific IP address?
I want to reach some php scripts located on my development machine running apache2 from my iPhone device.
Thanks
If your computer has a WiFi card then you should be able to attach the iPhone remotely to a ad-hoc Wifi network created on your dev machine.
I'm assuming your Mac is behind a router. You should be able to configure your router to port forward connections to your WAN facing IP address to port 80 (the HTTP port) on your Mac - see http://portforward.com/ for some help.
You may also need to turn the firewall off on your Mac.
Once this is set up correctly you can hit http://yourexternalIP/PHPFileLocation in your iPhone app and this will be directed by your router to the Apache2 server on your Mac. The external IP is normally found on your router's admin page somewhere.
I asked a very similar question not too long ago and got some great responses. I've made it pretty far but still can't quite get things to talk. What I have is a PC running IIS and a web service inside of that. I'm trying to get the iPhone simulator on my Mac to be able to see this web service. I can ping my PCs local IP address from the Mac just fine, it's clearly alive and on the network. However, no matter what URL I enter into Safari the web service will not appear.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much in advance.
Is this a web service or web application?
One fair possibility is that your Windows firewall could be blocking access to port 80. If it is, open your Windows firewall settings and add an exception for port 80 (Control Panel -> Windows Firewall -> Exceptions).
You might try using telnet on your Mac to test connecting to the web service/application.
I want to create an iPhone app which makes calls to a web service. For testing, I want to first create the API calls on my mac (server running XAMPP) and if it works fine there I want to port it to the actual server.
If my iPhone and mac are on the same network, can I access the web service using the IP address of my mac?
Thanks.
Any time someone answers with "why not," ignore the post. This just takes up space and adds absolutely no value...their post imitating their life.
Anyway, I access my laptop localhost (WAMP stack) from my iPod Touch by entering the IP address of my laptop on my Touch location bar. There is some configuration that needs to happen for this to work. I found what I needed at:
http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-88381.html
Good Luck!
I can not speak about actual development, however I access intranet pages from a Ipod Touch all the time by either typing http ://ip or http://local_dns_name
As long as the iphone / ipod is on the network correctly (e.g. through standard wifi and not 3g/whatever) you should be able to access any and all local resources.
What I do:
Connected to the same network, I go in to the wireless settings and create a manual proxy that points to my machine. I use Charles proxy for testing a lot/seeing traffic, works like a charm and it lets me use my macbook hosts file so I don't need to do any funky listening rules in apache - just the same vhost settings I use on my machine already.

Why not?
Have you tried it and have some problems?
