Zerobox creates a cert in `~/.zerobox/cert` on the first proxy run and reuses that. The MTIM process uses that cert to make the calls, inject certs, etc. This is actually done by the underlying Codex crate.
Yeah, but how does the sandboxed process “know” that it has to go through the proxy? How does it trust your certificate? Is the proxy fully transparent?
Great question! On Linux, yes, network namespaces enforce that and all net traffic goes through the proxy. Direct connections are blocked at the kernel level even if the program ignores proxy env vars, but I will test this case a bit more (unsure how to though, most network calls would respect HTTPS_PROXY and other similar env vars).
That being said, the default behaviour is no network, so nothing will be routed if it's not allowed regardless of whether the sandboxed process respects env vars or not.
