The Apache-2.0 tool uses a per-device CA to inspect and forward traffic to any gateway, logging and enforcing policy on AI calls that previously bypassed corporate proxies.", "body_md": "Hi HN, I work at TrueFoundry.\n\nWe built Aitori because AI traffic is getting harder for companies to control.\n\nWhen developers call an LLM API directly, the request can be routed through a gateway. But tools like Claude Desktop, ChatGPT app, claude.ai call the model from the vendor’s backend. There is no endpoint setting you can point to your proxy.\n\nAitori is an open-source local proxy that runs on the employee’s machine and intercepts traffic to selected AI applications.\n\nIt uses a per-device CA, similar to mitmproxy, to inspect model and MCP requests and forward them to a gateway. Traffic to other applications is left untouched.\n\nOnce you can see the traffic, it stops being a black box. You can log it, apply policy, route it, or do whatever else you would with AI traffic you control.\n\nIt's Apache-2.0, and the forwarding contract is documented so it works with any gateway, not just ours: [https://github.com/truefoundry/aitori/](https://github.com/truefoundry/aitori/)\n\nTry it:\ncurl -fsSL [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/truefoundry/aitori/main/in...](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/truefoundry/aitori/main/install.sh) | sh\nthen\nsudo aitori up --ui\n\nAround all day to answer any questions.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49068422](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49068422)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-aitori-see-and-govern-the-ai-traffic-leaving-your-machine", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/truefoundry/aitori/", "published_at": "2026-07-27 12:05:23+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-27 12:23:27.582454+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-policy", "ai-safety"], "entities": ["TrueFoundry", "Aitori", "Claude Desktop", "ChatGPT", "Apache-2.0"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-aitori-see-and-govern-the-ai-traffic-leaving-your-machine", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-aitori-see-and-govern-the-ai-traffic-leaving-your-machine.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-aitori-see-and-govern-the-ai-traffic-leaving-your-machine.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-aitori-see-and-govern-the-ai-traffic-leaving-your-machine.jsonld"}}
