 # Node HTTP Proxy
 
-This package is an HTTP proxy, written in Node.js. Spun up on a virtual machine.
+This project is an HTTP proxy, written in Node.js.
+
+I wrote this because I deal with proxies at work all the time, and wanted to write one as an exercise. I chose
+Node.js due to the event-driven architecture lending itself well to networking applications and because I 
+am familiar with the language.
+
+My goal for this project is to have it be easy to spin up, and compatible with major browsers. It will do 2 things.
+
+1. It will monitor application-level traffic (anything over HTTP/HTTPS) - and log it.
+2. It will block traffic after it's detected that you've been on a certain site for too long.
+
+In the future I would like it to:
+
+1. Block traffic based on pre-configured block rules.
+2. Attempt to block any content it deems dangerous.
+3. Provide a web interface for configuration management.
+4. Provide a configuration file.
+
+So in reality, it will be a tool to help monitor your internet usage and block you from spending too much time on any particular site!
 
 # Testing
 
-To test, can either spin up the vagrant instance, or utilize the unit tests.

+
+# TODO
+
+1. Setup a server that listens on a port
+2. Write a rudimentary parsing routine.
+3. Get Jest tests set up for the parsing routine
+4. Get Vagrantfile so can test with an actual browser that asks for a proxy
+5. Implement forwarding an HTTP request to the host after requesting it
+6. Return forwarded HTTP request to client after response is returned.
