I do have my own CAs on trust, but I am certain that this network wasn't run by
me and they didn't use any of my certificates.

Unfortunately I don't have the certificate handy right now, so I cannot say
anything else about this at this time. When I get a chance to go to that colab
space again I'll check it.
