Install the certificate:
SSL certificates allow you to establish an end-to-end encrypted connection when using Residential Proxies, Web Unlocker.
Using an SSL certificate is very simple. Simply download the certificate and choose how to use it in your environment.
Right-click on to "Save As" the file to your hard drive.
Unzip the file and select the certificate you want to use. Most users - especially if they are new to Lunaproxy - should use the *new SSL certificates.
If you write scraping code, in most cases you do not need to install an SSL certificate in your environment. Just load the SSL certificate in your code. For example, for CURL:
curl --proxy pr.ckbtbql3.lunaproxy.net:12234 --proxy-user <username>:<password> --cacert <PATH TO CA.CRT> ""
In some cases, such as when using certain third-party tools that do not allow certificates to be loaded from hard disk, you still need to install an SSL certificate on your computer.
The SSL certificate needs to be installed on the host where the actual scraping code or application is running.
In most cases this is your PC, but if you’re using a cloud-hosted server to run your code, you’ll need to install an SSL certificate on the server itself.
This only takes 2 minutes, just follow these instructions:
If you haven't already done so, right-click on this link and "Save As" the file to your hard drive:
After unzipping, double-click the installer to complete the installation!
