Once HTTPS support is enabled in eBlocker, each eBlocker generates a unique device root certificate
and a private key. This certificate is used to encrypt communication between your device and the
eBlocker when the eBlocker loads an SSL-protected web page.
Once HTTPS is activated, the eBlocker terminates the encrypted connection so that the data stream
can be analyzed. The eBlocker is the end of "end-to-end encryption". Since the browser expects an
encrypted connection with HTTPS, the eBlocker then encrypts the communication to your end device.
To do this, it is necessary to first include the so-called security certificate of your eBlocker in your
operating system and then, if necessary, in the browsers with its own certificate store as described in
Section 6.2. This certificate is sometimes also called a certificate for certification authorities, a root
certificate, or a root certificate.
We have no access to your private key or your device and have done everything to protect the
eBlocker from hackers - but of course there is no 100 percent security. We offer SSL support as an
option. If you feel uncomfortable with the eBlocker decrypting the HTTPS connection, please do not
activate this option.
Or add the websites you trust and you don't want eBlocker to look into the list of trusted websites. On
these pages, for example, the eBlocker cannot detect and block trackers, and the eBlocker icon cannot
be displayed either (see also Section 8.4.5).

HTTPS Status
To activate SSL, click on the eBlocker icon in the upper right corner of your browser window and go to
"Settings". Click on the menu item "HTTPS".
You are now in the "Status" tab. Activate the HTTPS function for your eBlocker by moving the button
to the right.
