charles proxy is capturing traffic from a port other than one i've set

2k Views Asked by At

I've set up Charles to capture traffic going through port 8888. I've set up my mobile device send traffic to that port. It all works peachily.

However, when i browse to a site on my desktop, that traffic is also captured by Charles. As far as i know, traffic on my desktop flows through port 80. How can i stop Charles from logging traffic from my desktop?

EDIT:

I've tried changing the port that Charles listens on and the problem still occurs. Can anyone help me diagnose what's going on?

Charles will capture all traffic of devices that use your port 8888 as their proxy, AND of your Windows and Mozilla Firefox traffic by default.

To change this, go to the "Proxy" tab and uncheck "Windows Proxy" (for Windows itself as well as most browsers) and "Mozilla Firefox Proxy".
