I'm trying to build an hotspot with mikrotik to allow the internet to my clients! So, the problem starts when i'm trying to access sites with Https sercurity like facebook, before the user authenticates.

With normal http connection the hotspot works fine, but when i put https, i'm getting this error: error

Can someone please help me? I have read all the docs in the mikrotik forum, nothing worked!

it's good news that nothing worked because it's the purpose of HTTPS: ensure that the site you want is the site you get. Hotspot does exactly the reverse: you ask for a website and you get another one (hotspot landing page): error.

There is no workaround without installing your certificate on each client, which is not doable on a hotspot environment.

Hopefully, problem has been handled with CNAs (Captive Network Assistants) which detect hotspot presence and launch an automatic HTTP request before the user has time to launch its own browser and navigate to Facebook. Latest iOS/Android/Windows versions do that automatically.
