Run MITM. There are parts of the code that disregards proxies, so you also need to extract the resources and replace URLs to a reverse proxy you control with logging. It’s an electron app so it’s quite easy to poke around in

No it still works, just completely bypassing your environment variables and/or proxychains. I spent a good few days when it first came out trying to integrate it into neovim but ultimately gave up since it was too much work and I don’t use Copilot anyways
