Would love to see some documentation on dealing with SSL decryption for those who are in MITM corporate environments.

I've struggled with this as I recently got a new Mac for work and I tried to set it up from scratch with Nix but I couldn't even get it to connect to the nixpkgs channel. I tried every solution I could find online for pulling the CAs and specifying the NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE, but it borked even after I left the office and connected through another network (and wiping and reinstalling Nix didn't seem to fix it, but I probably didn't do that correctly either...).

Eventually I gave up and went back to homebrew and setup scripts.

You need to make sure the `https_proxy` environment variable is set correctly as well. There used to be some coverage of this in the manual, but it looks like maybe it's gone now.
