<h1>Reverse proxy mode</h1>
</div>
<p>In reverse proxy mode, mitmproxy acts as a standard HTTP server and forwards
all requests to the specified upstream server. Note that the displayed URL for
flows in this mode will use the value of the <strong>Host</strong> header field from the
request, not the reverse proxy server.</p>
