tproxy is a Go CLI tool that proxies TCP connections while displaying and analyzing the traffic passing through them. It supports protocol-aware inspection for gRPC, HTTP/2, Redis, and MongoDB, plus packet delay and bandwidth throttling for testing.

Use cases

  • monitor gRPC connections and reconnection behavior
  • inspect MySQL connection pool traffic
  • debug TCP traffic between local services
  • simulate network latency by delaying packets
  • throttle bandwidth to test client behavior
  • check TCP retransmission rate and RTT
  • analyze redis or mongodb protocol traffic

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight CLI alternative to Charles or Wireshark for TCP debugging
  • you want to observe connection lifecycle of gRPC or database clients
  • you need to inject delay or speed limits into a TCP stream during testing

When to avoid

  • you need full HTTP request/response inspection with a GUI
  • you need TLS-encrypted traffic decryption without keys
  • you need packet-level capture rather than TCP stream proxying
