I've tried fiddler, charles, mitmproxy, burp suite, etc, but the best one I've found is ZAProxy: https://github.com/zaproxy/zaproxy The point and click scripting it does is pretty neat. Makes it easy to stub

We (the people) should probably be at least one of the governments. I don't know how these decisions are actually made, but I would think there'd be at least one government with one military team that would willingly rescue him. I
