Mitmproxy is a tool for intercepting, inspecting, and modifying HTTP/HTTPS traffic.

From the sources

Six years after mitmproxy's first checkin, we've finally released version 1.0.0 of the project. Our version numbering persisted below 1.0 well into the project's maturity, for reasons that are a tad difficult to explain.

It sets up a wireguard VPN on the child's Windows account, and then routes the traffic to our server. From there, we use mitmproxy to break open the TLS, inspect the packets, and then re-encrypt them. Currently all images are passed through an ImageNetV2 model, and for sites like reddit or google, individual links/communities are analyzed and we remove the content if it violates the filters without impacting the overall browsing…
