| ## Disabling TLS verification for LocalStack Cloud | ||
|
|
||
| If your proxy intercepts traffic to LocalStack cloud services (e.g., license server, localhost.localstack.cloud), you can disable TLS verification for these specific requests using the `SSL_NO_VERIFY` [configuration variable](/aws/capabilities/config/configuration#security). |

nit: localhost.localstack.cloud is not one of our cloud services. The two requests we make are to the license server, and to fetch our TLS certificate so that we can serve a trusted certificate for localhost.localstack.cloud.

question: don't we have a thing where our envars need to be prefixed with LOCALSTACK_?

| This approach disables certificate verification rather than trusting your proxy's certificate. |

praise: good worth putting in here that disabling TLS verification should be a last resort 👍
