DumpAny

Quick Start

DumpAny is a cross-platform network proxy debugging tool. This guide walks you through your first proxy setup in minutes.

Download & Install

macOS
Windows
Linux
  1. Download the .dmg file matching your Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel).
  2. Open the .dmg file and drag DumpAny into the Applications folder.
  3. Launch DumpAny from Applications (or Spotlight).
Since the app is ad-hoc signed (not notarized by Apple), you may see "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified" on first launch. To bypass this once: right-click (or Ctrl+click) DumpAny in Applications → select Open → click Open. Or go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. You only need to do this once — subsequent launches work normally.

Create Your First Proxy

  1. Launch DumpAny. The main window will appear showing the capture view.
  2. Press Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) to open the Settings panel. Alternatively, click the settings icon in the toolbar.
  3. In the left sidebar, click the "+" button next to the "HTTP" group to create a new HTTP proxy.
  4. A default proxy configuration will appear. The default listen address is 127.0.0.1:9999.
  5. The proxy starts automatically. You will see the status indicator turn green.
  6. Configure your browser or system to use 127.0.0.1:9999 as an HTTP proxy.
  7. Browse to any website. Captured requests will appear in the main window in real-time.
By default, the proxy listens on 127.0.0.1, which means only applications on your local machine can use it. To allow other devices on your LAN to connect, change the listen address to your LAN IP or 0.0.0.0.

Understanding the Interface

The main window is divided into several areas: the toolbar at the top for quick actions, the request list on the left showing all captured traffic, the request details panel on the right showing headers, body, and timing information, and the status bar at the bottom showing connection statistics. DumpAny supports 6 proxy types: HTTP/HTTPS, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis and gRPC — each with its own dedicated configuration panel.
