 ### HTTPS
 To use the proxy over HTTPS, you will need a certificate for your host. If you don't already have one, you can get one for [free](https://letsencrypt.org/) or you can generate a self-signed cert by running:  
-`openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout cert.key -out cert.crt -days 3650 -subj '/CN=<your-domain>'`  
-then visit the proxy url and confirm that you trust your own certificate
-
-To connect to the proxy over tls, you will need to supply a PAC (proxy auto-config) file to the browser, as most of them do not expose this option to the UI directly. Example:  
 ```
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout cert.key -out cert.crt -days 3650 -subj '/CN=<your-domain>'
+```

 function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
    if (url.substring(0, 5) == 'http:' || url.substring(0, 6) == 'https:') {
       return "HTTPS <your-domain>:9999";
    }
    return "DIRECT";
 }

 Set the path to this file in the browser UI and you're good to go.
 
 ### MitM
 To enable man-in-the-middle support, you will need to generate a root cert to sign all the certs generated by the proxy on the fly:  
-`openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout ca.key -out ca.crt -days 3650 -subj '/CN=<your-domain>'`  
+```
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout ca.key -out ca.crt -days 3650 -subj '/CN=<your-domain>'
+```
 and add it to your client (browser) as a trusted certificate authority

+```
+compy -host :9999
