how do you access http services locally?

is there a socks5 proxy or something I can configure in my web browser?

Not sure I follow

Pico is a reverse proxy, so the upstream services open outbound-only connections to Pico, then proxy clients send HTTP requests to Pico which are then routed to the upstream services

So as long as your browser can access Pico it should work like any other proxy

(Theres a getting started guide if that helps: https://github.com/andydunstall/pico/blob/main/docs/getting-...)
