We are wondering how many people actually make use of eBlocker HTTPS and get the certificate installed. For our next development step it would be great to get an idea as we want to improve HTTPS handling for apps.
THX!
When I run the eBlocker function test, I get the result:
"HTTPS is active for your device but eBlocker's certificate has not been added on the device."
I have added the certificate though, in any thinkable folder. And it did work correctly before, maybe until I changed to powerline as my local network structure (?).
I run eBlocker on my Windows-10-PC via Firefox browser, where the eBlocker certificate is installed as well.

There is plenty of help for https/certificate installation (check here for firefox instructions). I‘d suggest to read this first and follow instructions step by step. Please also check the forum for common user mistakes/issues with https: it‘s all here at your fingertips...
If you can‘t solve the issue please open a new thread in the general forum and provide all info asked for in the readme.
THX!
I don't have it setup, but I'd love to since many sites now redirect to HTTPS, including their ad feeds. But the configuration requiring a custom cert install on every device is a pain if you have a lot of PCs/devices, especially for devices which often have no way to configure this. I wish there was a better way to handle this, but I can't think of one that wouldn't expose a security risk.

No, you don't need to install the eBlocker certificate on every device, as you still have the choice on which devices you enable HTTPS. So you can enable HTTPS on the devices where installing the certificate is possible and stick to domain blocking on the other devices. Just be sure you have the Automatic blocker mode enabled for all devices, so eBlocker will automatically switch when HTTPS is enabled for a device.
