# I could not see any requests from my localhost server

## 1. Problem: I develop a local NodeJS, Ruby, or Python Backend at **<http://localhost:3000>**, but when I visit **<http://localhost:3000>** from Google Chrome, Safari  -> There is no traffic on the Proxyman app.

**Why does this happen?** By default, on macOS, all localhost requests don't go through the System HTTP Proxy. Therefore, there is no traffic recorded by Proxyman app.

### 2. Solution

There are two solutions to fix it: You should follow either one of the following solutions.

### Solution 1: Map **localhost** to the domain name in `/etc/hosts` (recommended ✅)

1. Open `etc/hosts` file

```
$ sudo vim /etc/hosts
```

2\. Add Domain Name with both **IPv4** and **IPv6** (You can change the `proxyman.local` with your name)

```
127.0.0.1 proxyman.local
::1 proxyman.local
```

3\. Save the file with `sudo` permission

4\. Follow [this guideline](/~/revisions/CTFzuwrlmsieJaiDVRDD/troubleshooting/.local-doesnt-appear-in-proxyman.md#2-solution) to make sure `*.local` traffic isn't in the proxy bypass list

5\. Access your localhost server by **<http://proxyman.local:3000>** (replace 3000 with your localhost ports)&#x20;

6\. Enjoy debugging!

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure you add both **IPv4** (`127.0.0.1 proxyman.local`) and **IPv6** (`::1 proxyman.local`). Otherwise, you might encounter the **5 seconds DNS delay**.

{% endhint %}

### Solution 2: Use **localhost.proxyman.io** instead of **localhost**

Proxyman uses Cloudflare and sets the DNS of **localhost.proxyman.io** to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). As a result, Proxyman can capture the local traffic as usual ✅&#x20;

For example:

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="374">Old URL</th><th>New URL</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Old URL</td><td>New URL</td></tr><tr><td>localhost:3000</td><td>localhost.proxyman.io:3000</td></tr><tr><td>localhost:8080</td><td>localhost.proxyman.io:8080</td></tr><tr><td>...</td><td>...</td></tr></tbody></table>
