Helpful tips

• Clear previous logs before you start testing new functionality.
• To install or remove certs in the iOS system, follow iGeeksBlog tutorial.
• When all else fails, a restart of both PC and mobile device may solve issues, but make sure to Disable the Windows Proxy / MacOS proxy / Mozilla Firefox Proxy again.
• You should periodically update your certificates as they do expire.
• Some routers re-assign local IP addresses, so you should verify the IPv4 has not changed.
