    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    I went ahead and installed Version 6. I ran into one hitch in that the installer updated Visual C++ and then prompted that the PC must be restarted before continuing. I clicked on the button to restart and then I saw in the window underneath that the Blue Iris installer progress bar seemed to...

    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    Thanks @bp2008 I contacted Blue Iris support regarding this problem, ie I pretty much pasted the text from this thread directly into the email to them. Ken at Blue Iris responded back today saying: "Before going further we would need to know if this occurs with the current version which is...

    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    Thanks for your response @bp2008 I checked the Blue Iris log and it does not mention anything about the web server. Also in the Web server menu, the orange triangle with a "!" provides no tool tip. I also ran Resource Monitor for activity on Port 443 and at all times, the only 2 entries I see...

    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    I should also mention that in the Web server menu, along with the HTTPS: selected, I also have a .pfx certificate file entered. This was setup with the help of @bp2008 per thread https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/ui3-on-google-pixel-10-chrome-browser.84951/ and this is all working (provided the web...

    HTTPS web server not starting up when Blue Iris Starts but can be started manually

    In the Settings -> Web server menu, when I check the box to Enable the HTTPS: server on port: 443 and click OK on the menu, the web server and the https web page (UI3) comes up and runs just fine. If I go back into that menu, I see a green check mark to the right of the Enable HTTPS line and the...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Update: This morning, I restarted both the Blue Iris server PC and the other PC here in the house where I access UI3. Now when I use the Edge browser on that PC and access the https: website for UI3, I no longer get the "Not secure" warning mentioned above. Now everything is copasetic, just like...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    @bp2008 YES !!!!! This worked! Thank you so much for the additional update 2026-04-21 to post #16 of this thread. I followed the steps carefully, created the .cer file and copied to .crt for my Pixel 10 (Android cell phone) and installed that as a CA certificate. Then generated the .pfx for the...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Techie007L thanks. Yes I had pretty much figured out, after my first run of SSLCertificateMaker, that I should have only included IP addresses for the devices accessing UI3. In order to know the IP address for my cell phone, when on my home WiFi, I can set it to a reserved IP address in my...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    bp2008 - Another use case I forgot to mention -- I also sometimes use my cell phone at home on my WiFi to access UI3. I don't have my cell (currently a Pixel 10) using a reserved IP address, but I could do that. Do I need to list that IP address in the host list for SSLCertificateMaker?

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Hello bp2008. I finally got started withSSLCertificateMaker. I downloaded and ran the .exe. I entered some IP addresses and clicked on the Make Certificate button and then used the Convert to create the .cer and .key files. I didn't go any further because I was not confident I got the IP...

    Another question bp2008 - Does the encryption used by the https server and decryption in the client affect overall performance? Is the video data also encrypted? I was under the impression that a VPN also encrypts, so would https via VPN be double encrypting?

    Great work bp2008. You have an amazing amount of knowledge and expertise on website and networking technology. I will try this. In addition to using the Pixel 10 cell phone away from home to access BI / UI3 using my VPN, I also use the Pixel 10 at home, without VPN, accessing UI3 with a LAN IP...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Ok bp2008 since I'm not exactly a networking guru and definitely not a cell phone guru, can you walk me through the steps I will need to take on the Blue Iris 5 Host PC and on my Pixel 10 to get UI3 loaded as an HTTPS with a trusted certificate? Thanks I edited this post to add a little more...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Ok bp2008 thanks for your help on this. I brought-up this thread on my Pixel 10 Chrome, tapped on your standalone PWA Display Test link, tapped the 3 dot menu, Add to Home Screen, and I was given the option to Install the standalone PWA App. This did install the App. I drug it from the App...

    UI3 on Google Pixel 10 Chrome Browser

    Thanks again bp2008. Ok, so if I update my server PC from Blue Iris 5 to Blue Iris 6, then it will serve UI3 with HTTPS. Will I then have the "Install" option from the Chrome browser for the UI3 website or do I have to do something additional on my Pixel 10 before I can Install as a PWA? I think...
