SWG and HTTPS inspection guides
Understand HTTPS inspection on your Mac, read certificate evidence, install SWG bar, and connect its Chrome extension.
SWG bar · Updated
Start with the HTTPS inspection guide if you want to understand a connection. For setup, use the installation and Chrome extension guides. The technical explanation shows how SWG bar reaches its conclusions and where those conclusions stop.
SWG stands for secure web gateway. A gateway can apply access rules without decrypting HTTPS, so a working website and a trusted certificate do not, by themselves, establish whether a connection was inspected.
The guides below separate connection routing, TLS certificate evidence, and browser integration so you can check each part of your setup.
