# my-proxy
my-proxy is an HTTP(S) Proxy that enables a developer to access internal networks (localhost, VMs, Docker containers) from external devices as they were in the host computer.
Read [How to access docker containers from external devices](http://nunes.io/blog/how-to-access-docker-containers-from-external-devices/) for more information.
## install instructions
```bash
npm install -g my-proxy
```
## usage
```bash
Usage: my-proxy [options]
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-b, --bind [host] bind to host [0.0.0.0]
-p, --port [port] listen on port [3128]
-v, --verbose verbose mode
-q, --quiet quiet mode
```
### example
```bash
my-proxy
# HTTP(S) Proxy Server listening for connections on host [0.0.0.0] port [3128]
```
## todo
- [ ] add proxy authentication
- [ ] filter requests (something similar to tcpdump)
- [ ] simulate mobile networking conditions (Edge, 3G and even offline)
## i know nothing about networking
In case you know nothing about networking, a very simple definition of a use case for this project is:
1. You run this app on your computer;
2. You set up your device (or another computer) pointing to this computer IP address, port 3128 (default one);
3. From now on you can access any url from your device as you were on your computer, `localhost` or any other internal url is going to work;
