Looks pretty neat, but does this support sites with HTTPS or certificate pinning? A simple proxy is easy, but that's been the annoying part in the past

Yes, definitely for HTTPS in general -- we have detailed instructions for each of 6 different platforms/browsers (e.g., Android, Chrome, Firefox, Windows/Mac desktop). However, the certificate pinning is actually really tough to get around for apps in Android and iOS these days, so those your mileage may vary there

When I click "Enable your WrapAPI proxy" button I get this message:

Whoops, our bad here! Certain accounts had the feature flag turned off randomly -- we should have fixed this, and you can use it now
