       Show HN: Forwarder - FOSS MITM proxy written in Go
        
       I'm working at Sauce Labs on a fast MITM proxy.  If you are using
       mitmproxy, Fiddler or Charles proxy in your job I believe you'll
       find it invaluable.  Forwarder 1.1 is now available, complete with
       a Grafana Dashboard for effortless monitoring. We are committed to
       making it great.  I welcome your feedback.  Cheers Michal
