No - your local server will still listen for webhooks, but they'll come from the proxy's client software.

Basically, you set up your GitHub webhook URL as the proxy server (for example, smee.io). Then you run a client on your local machine that connects to the proxy server. When a webhook is fired, it will be sent to the proxy, then delivered to the connected client, which will then pass it along as a webhook to whatever machine you've configured.

There's disadvantages to having all this stuff running, of course, so I think that handling this at the networking layer instead of putting a proxy just for webhooks into place is an interesting strategy. Certainly, it sounds like the right solution if you're already using OpenZiti.
