Based on how it works it cannot run as non-root even in principle. https://github.com/monasticacademy/httptap?tab=readme-ov-fil...

Correction: the readme claims it will work without requiring root, but it does need to manage network namespaces, which afaik may only be available to root users depending on system configuration.
