No way, it can't be just the self-signed cert, right?

I thought TLS 1.3 was the issue at first, but it’s probably just the cert.

Definitely D! Users need that cert in their trusted store.

Sounds like a classic case of missing the self-signed cert on client devices.

I recall that for SSL Forward Proxy to work properly, the self-signed CA certificate needs to be installed on client devices. That might be the problem here.

I think it could be related to the forward untrust certificate being expired, but I’m not confident about that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the "no-decrypt" action could be causing the browsers to reject the connection. It sounds familiar from practice questions.

I remember studying about SSL decryption, and I think the issue might be related to the self-signed certificate not being trusted by the clients.
