Proxy in Mobitru Connect

You can catch requests and responses of your application on Mobitru devices. For this, you need Mobitru Connect and a Proxy tool. You can use the feature in the UI and Console modes.

When you use Proxy in Mobitru Connect, you do not need to change anything in the device settings or install additional applications.

Steps to enable Proxy in the UI mode

Pre-conditions:
– contact support@mobitru.com to receive the application.
– turn on VPN on your PC if needed.

1. Log in to the platform.

2. Go to Account menu –> User Settings.

3. Generate and copy an Access key.
   The key should be saved in a secure storage as it is not saved after closing Mobitru Connect.

4. Paste the copied value to Your access key in Mobitru Connect.

5. On the platform, choose a device you want to work on.
6. Copy UDID or Serial number of the device.
   There are several ways to do it before starting a device session:
   1) Go to Devices -> Switch to the Detail view -> Check the columns in the table.
   2) Go to Devices -> Click on the device card or row -> Find the field in the Settings screen.

7. Paste the copied value to Device UDID/Serial number in Mobitru Connect.

8. Leave “app.mobitru.com” in Mobitru hostname.

9. Start your Proxy tool (Charles, Fiddler, etc.).

10. Enable the Local tunneling toggle.

11. In the Proxy URL field in Mobitru Connect, enter http://127.0.0.1:8888.
    8888 – the port that is used in a Proxy tool. If you have another value in the settings, you should use it. In Charles, you can check the port in this way: choose Proxy -> Proxy Settings -> HTTP Proxy.
    https://127.0.0.1 – a default value, but you can have another URL configured.

12. On the platform, hover over the device and click on Start.

13. Click on Start in Mobitru Connect.

14. Open the app or website to catch traffic.

If nothing happens in the Proxy tool, check the Troubleshooting section, or contact support@mobitru.com.
