Ask HN: How to analyse the traffic from a single Android app?

2 points by turbo_fart_box 7y ago ↗ HN

Android 8 made it a little more difficult to analyse the traffic for a particular app. I am working on someone else application and have noticed crazy amounts of network traffic while debugging the application (fyi its React-Native) and would like to figure out what exactly it causing the big jumps in net activity.

I use a local VPN (apps below) to get some information about the traffic (first option does not support IPV6 based on my tests).

Haven't tested this on Android 8 yet.

I would be interested to see what other options there are.
