Support ignoring of SSL exceptions on Android. #1435
Comments
Hello 👋 Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software I look forward to working with you on this issue |
Hello @RobertZenz due to security concerns I will not add a setting to floccus that allows people to ignore TLS errors and warnings. Self-signed certificates have known drawbacks that anyone will need to mitigate themselves if they choose to go down that path. Getting android and android apps to accept them is one of these drawbacks. See #208 for discussions about this. |

Describe the feature you'd like to request
The ability to ignore SSL exceptions and errors in the Android app when connecting to a server.
Describe the solution you'd like
Currently when trying to connect to a machine in the local network, for example "https://192.168.0.128/" an error message is displayed that an SSL-Exception was thrown. That is to be expected, as "192.168.0.128" will never match the certificate. Being able to ignore that exception would be great.
Basically what is needed is the possibility to accept self-signed certificates on Android and ignore when there is a problem with the certificate (TLD of certificate not matching address).
Describe alternatives you've considered
The most suggested "solution" is to have your router "reroute" the TLD provided in the certificate of the machine to the local machine within the local network. In many setups this is neither feasible nor possible.
