HTTPS Interception

This system is configured to use HTTPS Interception. For this to work your device may require an additional security certificate to avoid problems with HTTPS sites, in particular those with HSTS or HTTPS certificate pinning.

Please note: You only need to apply the inspection root certificate once.
