I have a local MITM Squid proxy on my home network to try and alleviate this problem, but it's why the prevalence of TLS with no protocol design for how we do proxying has gotten pretty annoying.

I did try doing something fun with network-interface scripts and avahi to make this more dynamic - the idea was my desktop and laptop both ran squid proxies, and then dynamically set peer proxies if they detected each other on the network. It didn't work great given the overhead.

It really feels like there should be a better way to do this in general, and without having to break TLS directly for things which are not really "secret".
