Question 1

What is Solpuga?

Accepted Answer

Solpuga is a desktop HTTP and HTTPS debugging proxy for macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu. It lets developers, QA engineers, and security teams intercept and modify network traffic from browsers, mobile apps, and any device that supports an HTTP proxy.

Question 2

Is Solpuga free?

Accepted Answer

Solpuga is free during the beta period. Download it for macOS, Windows, or Ubuntu and start debugging right away — no account or license key required.

Question 3

Does it work with HTTPS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can inspect HTTPS traffic by installing a local root certificate for MITM decryption. This is entirely optional — you decide which traffic to decrypt, and you can remove the certificate at any time.

Question 4

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

The proxy runs locally on your machine. All captured data stays on your device — nothing is sent to external servers. You control capture and decryption rules, and you can remove the certificate anytime to revert.

Question 5

Can I use it with iOS / Android devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Point your device's Wi-Fi proxy setting to Solpuga's address, then install and trust the Solpuga root certificate on the device. On Android, you can also configure a proxy over USB. Steps vary by OS version.

Question 6

What protocols does Solpuga support?

Accepted Answer

Solpuga supports HTTP/1.1 and HTTPS. It can intercept both plaintext and encrypted traffic, giving you full visibility into request and response headers, bodies, and timing.

Question 7

Can I use Solpuga for API testing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can intercept live API requests, inspect their headers and payloads, modify responses on the fly, and return mocked data — all without changing your application code.
