Probably not, but mitmproxy is not a reverse proxy for any production purpose. It’s for running on your local machine and doing testing of either low-level protocol or web security stuff.

> mitmproxy is not a reverse proxy for any production purpose

At a startup I was working on a few years ago, I set up mitmproxy in dev and eventually if memory serves right I also sometimes enabled it in prod to debug things.

That being said, we did not have a lot of users. We had in fact very very few users at the time.

I’ve been patiently waiting for someone to write a howto that uses mitmproxy to transparently obtain acme certificates for any web servers that are behind it.

I’d totally pay a cloud provider to just do this and forward requests to my port 80 or 443 with self signed certificates.

Https+acme is already open to this attack vector, so why inconvenience myself by pretending it is not?
