# Exclude domains from inspection of HTTPS traffic

The HTTPS Inspection Exceptions element is a list of domains that are excluded from decryption and inspection.

##

HTTPS Inspection Exceptions are used in a custom HTTPS service to define a list of domains for which HTTPS traffic is not decrypted. The custom HTTPS service must be used in a rule, and only traffic that matches the rule is excluded from decryption and inspection. HTTPS Inspection Exceptions are primarily intended for backwards compatibility.
