Open-source alternative to Wireshark

Wireshark is a popular network protocol analyzer that is widely used by network administrators and security professionals to troubleshoot network issues and analyze network traffic. It excels in providing comprehensive capture and deep packet analysis, making it a robust tool for diagnosing network issues and understanding traffic patterns.


On the other hand, Requestly, much like Wireshark, is an open-source tool, which offers even more customization and flexibility for users. With Requestly, you can easily modify and redirect HTTP/S requests, manage CORS headers, and create API mock endpoints which are not available in Wireshark. Moreover, it allows you to create rule-based redirects and recordings to automate your testing and debugging tasks.

Requestly not just made it easier for us to develop, test & debug our code on our customer sites but It also helps us do engaging product demos to our prospective clients.

Requestly is a game-changer for us. It started with one person and now the entire team uses Requestly to test our Staging code on production customers & non-customer sites. We more confidently ship product updates now.

I'm a big fan of Requestly, and use it on a daily basis as a QA Engineer. It removes the need to use Charles pretty often, which is always nice. Not that Charles wouldn't do the job, it's just super convenient to not need to open a separate application to do the same things -- instead I can just use Requestly directly in Chrome

Requestly is awesome. I used to use Charles proxy in my day to day work but it always messed with my wifi. I haven't had any issues with Requestly. Requestly's UI is amazing too and great to work in

Requestly has been a lifesaver for testing our product on our customers websites. Everyone's stage sites are a hot mess of half finished dev projects, but Requestly allows us to mock up stage sites in seconds that better reflect the live sites!
