+ <p class="question">On some sites I see a lot of "Connection from.."
+ entries that never complete.</p>
+
+ <p> This is probably because the page requests resources from SSL-protected
+ domains. These requests are intercepted by mitmproxy, but because we're
+ using a bogus certificate, the browser-side of the connection hangs. The
+ browser doesn't prompt you to add a certificate trust exception for remote
+ page components, only for the primary domain being visited. </p>
+
+ <p> To solve this, use something like FireBug to find out which page
+ components are hanging. Visit the relevant domains using your browser, and
+ add a certificate trust exception for each one. </p>
