This is great, will definitely check this out. I just struggled for hours following multiple blog posts and howtos to setup https locally, because I was trying to test Facebook login, which only allows HTTPS and can't be tested otherwise.

Definitely a great product if it works as advertised!



While the tool been showcased here is great, there's really no substitute for doing it yourself and getting your hands dirty. Too many people (not saying you) use these kinds of tools as a crutch instead of learning the basics themselves.

This is a great guide on how to set up SSL on localhost https://deliciousbrains.com/ssl-certificate-authority-for-lo...


indeed it's good to learn how those things work (I did while doing a similar process than your article) but a tool like this is definitely good to save time.

One could make a similar comment about using cURL vs building your own HTTP request, to learn the basics themselves :)
