Time: 3 minutes
Prerequisites: Set up Dev Proxy

By default, Dev Proxy is registered as a system wide proxy and all requests made by your machine are passed through the proxy.

By default, the proxy intercepts requests that are made from your machine to the URLs configured in devproxyrc.json file.

However, you might also want to only intercept requests being made from specific processes such as a command prompt window or web browser.

To intercept request from processes by their given process IDs, use the --watch-pids option:

devproxy –-watch-pids 870 135100

To intercept request from processes by their given process names, use the --watch-process-names option:

devproxy --watch-process-names msedge pwsh
