*.local requests do not appear on Proxyman

*.local requests not showing in Proxyman? Remove *.local from the macOS bypass proxy list, or try Network Extension for local network servers.

1. Problem

• All requests appear in Proxyman, except some local requests (*.local or localhost).

info

For .local servers on your local network, try Network Extension to capture HTTP/HTTPS traffic from Mac apps that bypass the system proxy. For localhost requests, use the setup guide below.

Network Extension is BETA and requires Proxyman PRO on macOS 26 or later.

2. Solution

• If it's a localhost request, read the following page:

I could not see any requests from my localhost serverlocalhost:3000 requests not showing in Proxyman? Capture localhost traffic from Google Chrome with Automatic Setup, or use /etc/hosts or localhost.proxyman.io.

• If it's a *.local request:

Open System Settings -> Network -> Wi-Fi -> Details… -> Proxies, then remove *.local from "Bypass proxy settings for these hosts & domains".

If you installed the Proxy Helper Tool, Proxyman uses its own Bypass Proxy List while it runs. Open Tools -> Proxy Settings -> Bypass Proxy Settings… in Proxyman and make sure *.local is not in the list.
