It would love to see if there is a way to run this without require the cmd keeps opening because that is kinda annoying. (MITM mode)

You can use a tool such as PM2 to run it as a daemon and other things, such as running it at boot, etc

How about on Windows?

I'm pretty sure PM2 also works on Windows

Hm, I've been thinking about compiling binary versions of the proxy. This would essentially wrap the node.js script with a node.js binary depending on the OS into a single binary (exe on Windows), which would make it easier to start since it wouldn't be necessary to use command line. Command line would still be needed to trust the root certification, however.

Would compiling to an exe make it easier to have it start on login? I haven't used Windows in quite a while, but I think the process is something like making a shortcut to an exe in a certain folder.

I added a VB script in the folder that starts the node mitm.js without opening a cmd window
And I also created a shortcut to the VB script in the shell:startup folder to make sure the proxy starts every time when I turn on my computer.

Mind sharing the script? Thanks

@jckefan

Set oShell = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")
Dim strArgs
StrArgs = "node ""D:\APP\Spotify Ad Block\spotify-adblock-macos\mitm.js"" "
oShell.Run strArgs, 0, false

Put this code in a .vbs file in the ./spotify-adblock-macos so you don't need to certify the certificates everywhere
Then make a shortcut to this file in shell:startup folder
So this will ad block start every time the computer starts
