-=====
-
-On Linux, mitmproxy integrates with the iptables redirection mechanism to
-achieve transparent mode.
-
- 1. :ref:`Install the mitmproxy certificate on the test device <certinstall>`
-
- 2. Enable IP forwarding:
-
- >>> sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
-
- You may also want to consider enabling this permanently in ``/etc/sysctl.conf``.
-
- 3. If your target machine is on the same physical network and you configured it to use a custom
- gateway, disable ICMP redirects:
-
- >>> echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/send_redirects
-
- You may also want to consider enabling this permanently in ``/etc/sysctl.conf``
- as demonstrated `here <https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/58081>`_.
-
- 4. Create an iptables ruleset that redirects the desired traffic to the
- mitmproxy port. Details will differ according to your setup, but the
- ruleset should look something like this:
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
- iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
-
- 5. Fire up mitmproxy. You probably want a command like this:
-
- >>> mitmproxy -T --host
-
- The :option:`-T` flag turns on transparent mode, and the :option:`--host`
- argument tells mitmproxy to use the value of the Host header for URL display.
-
- 6. Finally, configure your test device to use the host on which mitmproxy is
- running as the default gateway.
-

-For a detailed walkthrough, have a look at the :ref:`transparent-dhcp` tutorial.
