Question: how to use fence with mitmproxy?

[tharwan]

Hi,

I would like to interactively allow requests coming from inside fence, issued by an agent. For example for fetching websites.

My idea was to run mitmproxy alongside fence and then tell the agent how to make requests going through the proxy.

However I did not manage to configure fence correctly so that the mitmproxy could be reached. I am running fence on macOS and just set allowLocalOutbound to true and then ran curl --proxy.

Maybe related to #66

I would also like this - if you want to try this, you would probably have to do some digging in the source code to figure out how to call out to your mitmproxy or add an option for fence to start it. I would really like it to be ease to use mitmproxy to investigate (and conditionally allow) requests. Especially because it opens up scripting for special allow rules that are not simple 'domain good/bad' decisions.

I will give it a try.
