Sonicwall firewall devices, at one time, used a MITM attack to perform it's duties. It would replace the incoming security cert with it's own so it could inspect the packets. It caused a lot of problems, especially if the system you were using was expecting a cert and getting something else. The python repositories had this issue, last place I worked had a sonicwall device and it made getting libraries impossible.

That's one of mickeysoft's "helpful" services. It's useless for 99% of the people.

Useless to us. But I'm guessing it's very useful for the imposers. Can't they use it to access virtually everything you have connected to it?
