@ -105,6 +105,16 @@ configure your testing system or browser to trust the mitmproxy CA as a
signing root authority. For security reasons, the mitmproxy CA is generated uniquely on the first
start and is not shared between mitmproxy installations on different devices.
Some applications pin their SSL certificates in order to prevent MITM attacks.
This means that **mitmproxy** and **mitmdump's** certificates will not be
accepted by these applications. This is because when an application pins a
certificate it requires that SSL traffic is encrypted with a specific
certificate rather than any certificate that is signed by a trusted Certificate
Authority (CA). In order to work around this, it is recommended to use the
`Ignore Domains <http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/features/passthrough.html#ignore-domains>`_
feature in order to prevent **mitmproxy** and **mitmdump** from intercepting
traffic to these specific domains.
