Introduction Advances in cybersecurity frequently mean that it’s harder to troubleshoot issues. Some security solutions add a lot of complexity to a system, and sometimes the fact that traffic is encrypted means we can’t see everything we want to.

Figuring out what the request and response sizes are is also important to figure out what particular network setting to look at.
