Hmm, I’ve been there. For node express proxy change request path, I’d recommend sticking with `http-proxy-middleware`. It’s lightweight and does the job well.
If you’re looking to strip a part of the path, use `pathRewrite`. For example:
```javascript
pathRewrite: { '^/remove-this': '' }
```
This will remove `/remove-this` from the path. If you need to add a prefix, just map it to the desired path.
Also, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can write a custom middleware to modify the path before proxying. But honestly, `http-proxy-middleware` should cover most use cases.
