Noise Filtering / Background Traffic Suppression #2683

Feature Request: Noise Filtering / Background Traffic Suppression

Summary

Please add an advanced Noise Filtering feature that allows users to hide or suppress background network traffic (such as DNS-over-HTTPS, connectivity checks, telemetry, and other repetitive system requests) from the request list.

Problem

When using Reqable for API debugging or mobile application security testing, the request list is often flooded with background traffic, making it difficult to focus on the actual application requests.

For example, browsers like Brave frequently generate requests such as:

Although these requests are technically valid, they create significant visual noise during analysis.

Proposed Solution

Please add a Noise Filter option with capabilities such as:

  • Hide DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) requests
  • Hide DNS queries
  • Hide connectivity check requests
  • Hide telemetry/analytics requests
  • Hide repetitive background traffic
    Allow users to define custom noise rules (Host, Domain, URL Pattern, Regex, Process, etc.)
  • Allow quick toggling of these filters without affecting actual traffic capture

The requests should still be captured internally if needed, but hidden from the main request list unless the user disables the filter.

The request list would become significantly cleaner, allowing users to focus on meaningful application traffic instead of repetitive background requests.

Thanks for building such a great tool. This feature would make Reqable even more powerful for advanced users.
