Proxyman consumes too much RAM & unresponsive

Solution to fix memory issue when using Proxyman

Problems

If Proxyman is:

• Unresponsive after using it for a while.

• Consume too much Memory.

You might encounter the above problems if you enable SSL Proxying with the following rules:

• Use the all `*` wildcard to intercept all traffic from your Mac Machine.

• Enable the entire web browser (Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.).

Reason

Proxyman will intercept and decrypt all traffic which leads to high memory usage. In the worst scenario, the app can become unresponsive.

SSL Proxying List with web browser or * wildcard can slow your Mac.

Solution

1. ✅ Update to the latest Proxyman version (Memory Leaks has been fixed in the latest builds)

2. Open Tools -> SSL Proxying List

3. Remove all Web Browser or `*` wildcards if they exist.

4. Enable SSL Proxying on particular domains.
