Unable to connect with anything. Possibly due to the certificate
Lippiece opened this issue · comments
As per README in /usr/share/ca-certificates:
7 │ QUICK HELP: To add a certificate in the simple PEM or DER file formats to the
8 │ list of CAs trusted on the system:
9 │
10 │ Copy it to the
11 │ /usr/share/ca-certificates/trust-source/anchors/
12 │ subdirectory, and run the
13 │ update-ca-trust
14 │ command.
I've done that, and also tried /etc/ca-certificates, but I'm unable to connect to anything.
When not importing the certificate into Firefox, it says MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_MITM_DETECTED:
When importing, it says BAD_SIGNATURE:
Hi,

The suggestions provided for when the problem occurs in multiple sites are:
- Antivirus: reinstall or use steps for specific product -- not the case. or at least tell why privaxy could cause certificate issues.
- Monitoring/filtering in corporate networks: address your IT department -- thats_why_im_here.jpg.
- Malware: deal with the malware -- I assume privaxy is not a malware.
Please reopen the issue. I'd be happy to provide any info to resolve this.
You need to make sure the Privaxy certificate is trusted, can you show a screenshot of your firefox configuration?

Do you mean settings? Should I screenshot all the pages?
@Lippiece Follow these steps and let me know if they work. I know the thread is closed but I had to tinker around to find a solution.
- sudo trust anchor --store ./where_you_have_the_certificate/privaxy_ca_cert.pem
- sudo update-ca-trust
- Make sure privaxy is running and you have the filters applied.
- Go to settings and search for certificates and look for this -
- If you see it, then lastly check if you have set up your OS redirecting your connection through local proxy at localhost:8100
