Of course this also requires the use of a self-signed certificate in order to have a browser indicate the connection is still secure. The only end to end encryption is between the proxy and the website. This means regardless if the connection between the user and the proxy was encrypted, a user with complete and total control over the proxy, could in theory intercept the data. In order to decrypt the data, that of course would require, the proxy to use a self-signed certificate and for the browser to trust that certificate | |
