To enable the proxy - you can proxy everything. You will just have to allow the traffic to the hoverfly running on port 8888, and to the frontend running on port 8500 or 4200.

Depending on the way, you started it- via a jar or via a “ng start”

Set the hoverfly into the “Capture mode”.

And recode the traffic, e.g. by navigating the REST api URLs manually.

Then export the strategy.json

hoverctl export simulation.json

Congratulation! You are now independent from the backend and may test the frontend - independently from backend.

By just importing the recorded actions

hoverctl import simulation.json

You can see the captured datasets under the GUI

Ideally one would not want to configure the application under test.

So we search for a proxification method, allowing to redirect HTTP, HTTPS traffic via a proxy transparently to the application.

Here https://github.com/SpectoLabs/hoverfly/issues/774 the tool *proxychains* is recommended.
