    Its been a great product for a long time but now multiple better alternatives are available like Requestly, Proxyman. The issue with Charles is its interface is very old and it doesn't work with VPN, a big problem in remote working.

Charles is a great Cross Platform (java) Proxy for Developers and Tinkerers with SSL support and much more. Actively maintained. A Very Good GUI Application.
