Hey. About HTTPS proxy, i can offer you a better way, rather than creating your own CA, generating certs for any domain which is too much of work & configuration + compiling OpenSSL. I have done that already, as free service working on this address: https://ca.parasite.io You can easily implement with LUA module to download certs for any domain & download it as Zip or JSON or pfx. Contains all files you need. root, intermediate and target cert with private keys of course. As the owner/developer, that domain and service is going to work for years at least till 2027 (my root cert's expiry date).

Note: Created certs has a 60 mins of cache (nginx) to improve performance. You don't want to download each certificate for all static files in a single request.




Is this what it looks like? A service asking people to download and install a new root CA certificate?

Don't ever do that.


As in homepage it states that strictly for developer's use. And maybe I should add for the other's who are not developer not to install root certificate. Thank you for reminding.


Fiddler does this, but locally - I should check how long the expiry is, though.


Lots of tools generate CA certs locally. I don't have a problem with that. This is a tool that asks you to download a new root CA cert from a website. That's crazy.


We're in agreement there.
