I am struggling to configure https in webpack-dev-server and provide self-sign certificate.
There was similar question but it didn't help much as I am using unoffical port and it works fine when I disable https.
The certificate is generated via powershell command New-SelfSignedCertificate and then imported with Import-PfxCertificate
Perhaps certificate is badly formed as when I view site information on Chrome is states the connection to the site is not secure.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for help
