Fiddler - Unable to capture https traffic

I have installed fiddler on server named server1.corp.mycompany.net. When i browse from my local machine to https://server1/default.aspx, it does not capture the traffic. But if i open IE on the server and browse https://server1/default.aspx, it works.

I have enabled "Capture https traffic". This is how it looks like:

enter image description here

Am i missing something?

I am using Fiddler4.

You would need to install Fiddler on your local machine if you expect to capture traffic to the server from your local machine. That's how Fiddler works by default, it only captures traffic originating from browsers on your computer.

If you wanted to inspect all traffic coming to the server, then something like Wireshark would be more appropriate.

Your options are:

  1. Run Fiddler on the client machine. It will show outbound requests from that machine.
  2. Run Fiddler on one machine and point the proxy settings on another machine to that first machine. Fiddler will show outbound requests from any client whose proxy settings point at Fiddler.
  3. Run Fiddler as a reverse proxy. This will show inbound requests to the target.

Based on your scenario, you probably want #3.
