 Trust the CA (required for TLS interception):

+**macOS:**
 ```bash
 sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot \
   -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain ~/.egressor/ca.pem

 ### Configure your tools
 
-For Node.js-based tools (Claude Code, Kiro, Cursor):
+Set the proxy and CA certificate for your LLM tools:
+
+**macOS / Linux:**
 ```bash
 export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=~/.egressor/ca.pem
 export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8080
 ```
 
+**Windows (PowerShell):**
+
+```powershell
+$env:NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS = "$env:USERPROFILE\.egressor\ca.pem"
+$env:HTTPS_PROXY = "http://127.0.0.1:8080"
+```
+
 Then launch your tool — all HTTPS traffic flows through Egressor.
