Do Not Inspect lets you bypass certain elements from inspection. To prevent Gateway from decrypting and inspecting HTTPS traffic, your policy must match against the Server Name Indicator (SNI) in the TLS header. When accessing a Do Not Inspect site in the browser, your browser may display a **Your connection is not private** warning, which you can proceed through to connect. For more information about applications which may require a Do Not Inspect policy, refer to [TLS decryption limitations](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/http-policies/tls-decryption/#inspection-limitations).

All Do Not Inspect rules are evaluated first, before any Allow or Block rules, to determine if decryption should occur. For more information, refer to [Order of enforcement](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/order-of-enforcement/#http-policies).

Cloudflare Gateway can perform [SSL/TLS decryption](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/security/what-is-https-inspection/) in order to inspect HTTPS traffic for malware and other security risks.
17+
18+
When you enable TLS decryption, Gateway will decrypt all traffic sent over HTTPS, apply your HTTP policies, and then re-encrypt the request with a [user-side certificate](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/user-side-certificates/). Gateway will decrypt and re-encrypt traffic regardless of HTTP policy action, including [Do Not Inspect](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/http-policies/#do-not-inspect).

Cloudflare prevents interference by decrypting, inspecting, and re-encrypting HTTPS requests in its data centers in memory only. Gateway only stores eligible cache content at rest. All cache disks are encrypted at rest. You can configure where TLS decryption takes place with [Regional Services](/data-localization/regional-services/) in the [Cloudflare Data Localization Suite (DLS)](/data-localization/).

### Incompatible certificates

Applications that use certificate pinning and mTLS authentication do not trust the Cloudflare certificate. For example, most mobile applications use <GlossaryTooltip term="certificate pinning" link="/ssl/reference/certificate-pinning/">certificate pinning</GlossaryTooltip>. Cloudflare does not trust applications that use self-signed certificates instead of certificates signed by a public CA.

* Configure a [Split Tunnel](/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-devices/warp/configure-warp/route-traffic/split-tunnels/) in Include mode to ensure Gateway will only inspect traffic destined for your IPs or domains.
