Needing to turn off Mulvad for Netflix and other services was the deal breaker for me. Otherwise loved it.

The certificate authority (CA) system does an incredible job of solving an impossible challenge. Think about it. The CAs measure control of a domain name and then issue TLS certificates that pair cryptographic keys to those names. They do this on a global scale, often automatically. It's impossible to do this perfectly, and unfortunately, they occasionally fail.
In this post I describe the challenges the CAs face, describe a history of failures, and explain the process we use to maintain confidence in the system in spite of it all.
