Intercepting Claude Code: The Proxy Ecosystem

When Daniel hit voice latency issues with Claude Code, he wondered if he could intercept the API call and route it somewhere faster. The answer is yes — and there's a whole ecosystem of projects doing exactly that. This episode breaks down how middleware proxies work under the hood, from TLS termination to real-time streaming translation. We explore three categories of proxies — privacy logging, cost-saving local routing, and extensibility platforms — and discuss the ethical and legal boundaries of intercepting your own AI traffic.
