Currently, I only can dealing with those SSL traffics which use an obviously certification. Some applications may not using system root cert or they doesn't provide us a method to modify their own certs. For these situation, I still didn't find a good solutions for it. But I'll keep updating this if I get one.
My current solution is using AP to forward all SSL traffic to a proxy, [charles proxy](https://www.charlesproxy.com/) is my first choice (Prof asked). It's a non-free software which still update new versions now. So mainly, I'll talk about how to charles SSL proxy.
### Preparations

You also need to save charles Root Certificate, it also contains in the same menu. For convience, save it as *.pem format.
