Hi All, whenever I connect to my cloud 9 server, I get “Not secure” tag on the url and https crossed out even though I have installed the CA cert as advised on the how to docs. When I click on the Not Secure tab, there is a line that says “Certificate is not valid” and when I click on that it just displays the details of the certificate. I am connecting using my Cloud 9 server name and I am using Brave on Linux (POP OS). Any help on how to fix the cert issue would be appreciated. ---

No prob. I’ve created a PR to add this to the documentation: >
