🔗Quick Start

Download the latest release for your platform from hugin.nu/download, then run:

hugin

The proxy starts automatically on 127.0.0.1:8080. Configure your browser to use that address as its HTTP/HTTPS proxy, trust the Hugin CA certificate, and you’re intercepting traffic.

See the Installation guide for all platforms.
