Install Certificate

Install and trust the Proxyman CA certificate on Windows 10 and 11, with the automatic script or by hand, so Proxyman can decrypt HTTPS traffic.

Install Certificates on Windows

To intercept encrypted HTTPS messages (Request or Response), you have to install the Proxyman CA Certificate on your Windows machine.

You can install the Proxyman CA Certificate from

• Certificate menu -> Install Certificate on this Windows...

info

The Proxyman Certificate is a self-signed certificate, which is generated on your machine. Proxyman never stores or sends any personal data to Proxyman's server or any 3rd party.

Please check out the Proxyman Privacy Statement to see what data Proxyman collects.

If you'd like to generate a Certificate on your machine by hand and then add it to Proxyman, please check out the Custom Certificate Doc
