Hello,

On MAUI, you could use handler to set proxy to the WebView, you could refer to Customize controls with handlers, and the following steps.

Step 1. You need to create static helper class to set Proxy on each platform. For instance, you could create ProxyHelper.cs into your Platforms/Android folder.

   public static class ProxyUtils  
       {  
           public static bool SetProxy(WebView webView,...) // other proxy parameters, such as host, port, and soon on.  
           {  
   		// return set proxy is successed or not.  
           }  
       }  

Step 2. Set up proxy to each platforms in the XAML.cs file of the page you need to proxy.

   public MainPage()  
       {  
           InitializeComponent();  
           ModifyWebView();  
       }  
      void ModifyWebView()  
       {  
           Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.WebViewHandler.Mapper.AppendToMapping("MyCustomization", (handler, view) =>  
           {  
   #if ANDROID  
               var webView = handler.PlatformView; // Get the native android webview.  
               ProxyHelper.SetProxy(webView, ...);   
   #elif IOS || MACCATALYST  
   	   
   #elif WINDOWS  
     
   #endif  
           });  
       }  

Best Regards,
