Basically you need to:

  1. Specify which App is intercepted
  2. Generate certificates for it
  3. (optionally) Replace its icon with the Plex icon

Specify which App is intercepted

This is done using the hosttointercept = parameter in Settings.cfg. For example, if you want to intercept Kor TV you will code hosttointercept = kortv.com

Generate certificates for it

  • To generate certificates use the procedure for OSX or Windows replacing -subj "/C=US/CN=trailers.apple.com" with -subj "/C=US/CN=kortv.com"
  • To load certificates use the procedure described here
