Introduces a new opt-in allow/deny filtering policy for the proxy, along with persistent logging of blocked requests and comprehensive tests. The filtering logic is hot-reloaded from a JSON file, and all blocked requests (including HTTPS tunnels) are logged with a new blocked flag in the database. The database schema and code are updated to support this, and new tests ensure correct behavior and migration of the schema.

More detail in VibePod/vibepod-cli#156

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added opt-in host filtering with open, allow, and deny modes.
    • Blocked requests and CONNECT attempts now receive JSON 403 responses.
    • Request records include blocked status, filtering mode, and block reason.
    • Filter configuration hot-reloads automatically and fails open if unavailable or invalid.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Filtering uses the actual connection host, preventing Host-header bypasses.
    • Blocking is preserved if request logging encounters an error.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup and configuration guidance for proxy filtering.
  • Tests

    • Expanded automated coverage and added continuous integration checks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds opt-in, hot-reloaded host filtering for HTTP and CONNECT proxy traffic. Blocked requests return JSON 403 responses. SQLite records store blocked status and filter metadata. Tests and GitHub Actions coverage validate policy, persistence, and addon behavior.

Changes

Proxy filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Filter policy and reload behavior
proxy/policy.py, tests/test_policy.py, README.md
Adds allow and deny modes, exact and wildcard hostname matching, hot reload, fail-open handling, environment-based path selection, tests, and documentation.
Blocked request persistence
proxy/db.py, tests/test_db.py
Adds blocked, filter_mode, and block_reason fields, SQLite storage, default conversion, and migration support for existing databases.
HTTP and CONNECT enforcement
proxy/addon.py, tests/test_addon.py, tests/conftest.py, requirements-dev.txt, .github/workflows/tests.yml, .gitignore
Applies filtering to HTTP and CONNECT flows, assigns JSON 403 responses before persistence, validates behavior with pytest, and configures test workflow support.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0019f

The PR adds hot-reloaded allow/deny filtering, but modification-time-only detection can leave changed rules inactive, allowing requests to continue using stale policy. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to make reload detection robust.

installation steps unchanged.

- Around line 113-115: Update the policy check around _policy.is_blocked to use
flow.request.host instead of flow.request.pretty_host, and use the same
flow.request.host value when constructing the blocked response. Add a test
covering a denied target with an allowed Host header, asserting that the request
remains blocked.

In `@proxy/policy.py`:
- Around line 62-64: Update the policy reload logic around the mtime cache to
use an uninitialized sentinel and a content-sensitive revision such as a file
digest, so rewritten content reloads even when size and mtime are unchanged and
valid mtime 0 files load initially. Add coverage for rewriting equal-size policy
content without advancing mtime.

- Around line 77-82: Update the conn.execute call that creates the http_requests
table to include the formatter-required trailing comma, matching the pre-commit
hook output.

proxy/policy.py:81

  • A structurally malformed list is silently converted to [] while the requested mode remains active. In particular, {"mode":"allow","allow":"example.com"} blocks every host instead of following the documented fail-open behavior for malformed files. Validate the mode-specific list before committing the new state and call _fail_open when it is not a list of valid strings.
        self._mode = mode
        self._allow = self._patterns(data.get("allow"))
        self._deny = self._patterns(data.get("deny"))

proxy/addon.py:167

  • Enforcement happens only after building and inserting the log row. Any resolver/serialization/SQLite failure before this block leaves flow.response unset; mitmproxy catches addon exceptions, so a host already classified as blocked can be forwarded instead of receiving a 403. Set the synthetic response immediately after computing blocked, before nonessential logging work.
        self._db.insert_request(record)

        if blocked:
            flow.response = http.Response.make(
