About

Take full control of your browser's network traffic. WireRules lets you inspect, block, redirect, and modify HTTP requests in real time with powerful, user-defined rules.

Live Traffic Monitor
See every network request your browser makes as it happens. Inspect URLs, request and response headers, body content, status codes, and errors — all from a clean, searchable interface.

Flexible Rule Engine
Create rules to control how your browser handles network requests:
- Block unwanted requests by URL, domain, or resource type
- Redirect requests to different URLs
- Modify request and response headers (append, set, or remove)
- Apply URL transforms (change scheme, host, port, path, or query parameters)
- Upgrade HTTP connections to HTTPS
- Filter by request method, domain, and resource type

Default-Deny Mode
Enable default-deny to block all requests except those explicitly allowed by your rules — ideal for locked-down browsing environments.

Rule Templates
Get started quickly with built-in rule templates for common use cases. Customize them to fit your needs.

Persistent Configuration
Your rules and settings are saved locally and survive browser restarts. Toggle individual rules on and off without deleting them.

Use Cases
- Debug web applications by inspecting and modifying network traffic
- Block trackers, ads, or unwanted third-party requests
- Test redirects and header modifications during development
- Enforce HTTPS across all sites
- Lock down browsing with default-deny and explicit allow rules
