Proxy Mode

PMG supports proxy based interception as an alternative to the current optimistic dependency resolution. When enabled via --proxy-mode flag:

  • PMG starts a micro-proxy server on a random localhost port
  • Runs npm and other supported package managers configured to use the proxy
  • Intercepts package registry requests and analyzes packages as they are downloaded
  • Blocks malicious packages and allows trusted packages to be installed

Usage

pmg --proxy-mode npm install lodash

Configuration

To permanently enable proxy mode, add the following to your config.yml file:

proxy_mode: true
