Proton Bridge Certificate

In order to use Proton Bridge with Aerion, you must first install the certificate on your system. If you are unsure how to accomplish this, follow the below steps.

  1. Open Proton Bridge

  2. Click on the gear icon to go to the settings screen

  3. Click on Advanced settings at the bottom to expand Proton Bridge advanced settings

  4. Look for Export TLS certificates and click the Export button next to it.

  5. Save the file (cert.pem) to a safe location

  6. From the terminal, cd into the location of cert.pem and install it to:

    • Arch based systems: 
      sudo cp cert.pem /etc/ca-certificate/trust-source/anchor/proton-bridge.pem
      sudo update-ca-trust
    • Debian based systems: 
      sudo cp cert.pem /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/proton-bridge.crt
      sudo update-ca-certificates
    • Redhat based systems: 
      sudo cp cert.pem /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/proton-bridge.pem
      sudo update-ca-trust
    • Void Linux: 
      sudo cp cert.pem /etc/ssl/certs/proton-bridge.pem
      sudo update-ca-certificates

This will make it so that any software on your system will now recognize the Proton Bridge cert as a valid SSL certificate.
