I want to modify the website www.moviestarplanet.com. The site got https secured 2-3 weeks ago and i could not use charles anymore.. I've tried so much,but everytime it comes: unknown.

Could anyone help me? Instead of unknown there should be: Gateway. I already installed the certificate.. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

There is no clear information on whether this problem is with iOS or Mac.

Mauricio has explained how to solve this problem on Mac.

Let me take the liberty of how to fix this problem in iOS.

So basically there is a SSL trust issue that's happening on device that's why the request is not succeeding and you are getting the network connection failure

If you load the site on non-safari browsers such as Chrome you'll have a option to add an SSL exception for this particular site and proceed.

To fix the problem for once and all follow the below steps

enter image description here

Starting from iOS 10.3 SSL trust for the certificate has to be turned on manually for the manually installed certificate profiles in iOS so go to Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings. Under Enable full trust for root certificates turn on trust for the certificate

Here is the link to apple documentation
