Description

Using arguments via cli severely limits the launch of such a proxy by the local computer. For a small team a variant with a file of hosts or even better some kind of database would be perfect.

Research direction

Start by reading the CLI argument handling and the project documentation to understand how hosts are currently supplied and used. Clarify whether the intended scope is a hosts file or a database, then define the update-on-every-request behavior and verify that the chosen source replaces the current CLI-only workflow.
