Connecting over TOR with the TOR browser on my phone

I can connect to my server over TOR with the Firefox browser on my laptop. When I use the TOR browser on my phone I have problems. I scan the QR code and then after a moment I get:

‘Secure Connection Failed:
-The could be a problem with the server’s configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
-If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.’

Here, I can try again or click the ‘Advanced…’ tab where it tells me:

'Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue.

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Tor browser does not trust https://…onion because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates’

I can click ‘Accept the Risk and Continue.’ Which takes me to what looks to be my StartOS login page where it’s asks for my password. I have not logged in here.

I think I need to import my server certificate into the Tor browser somehow. I do not see how I can do that. I have looked around the settings on the browser.

Hi. You can proceede to login with your password.

That page & the warnings are normal, you are trusting yourself since you are loggin into your own server so there is nothing to worry about.

Tor Browser does not need your Root CA to be imported.
