Muffin provides a new approach to the HTTP proxy. Instead of forwarding all internet traffic, HTML documents returned from the server are parsed, and any attributes that point to a URL (such as src, href, etc) are prefixed with Muffin's hostname in order to be proxied.
Muffin is not going to provide any privacy or functionality guarantee. Any requests performed from JavaScript will not be proxied, as Muffin only performs a basic check of HTML attributes. This means that some functionality on more complex sites may be broken if the site is blocked by the client or network firewall.
To run, simply download the latest artifact for your platform from GitHub Actions and run:
./muffin-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu [(--port || -p) <port>] [(--host || -h) <host>] [(--scheme || -s) <scheme>]
You can also clone this repository and run with Deno:
deno run --allow-net index.ts [options]
You can also produce a native executable:
deno compile --allow-net index.ts
Navigate to <scheme>://<host>:<port>/muffin_init to configure the desired origin, and you're good to go!
