+TLS Master Secrets
+==================
+
+The SSL master keys can be logged by mitmproxy so that external programs can decrypt TLS connections
+both from and to the proxy. Key logging is enabled by setting the environment variable
+:envvar:`SSLKEYLOGFILE` so that it points to a writable text file.
+Recent versions of WireShark can use these log files to decrypt packets.
+You can specify the key file path in WireShark via
+:samp:`Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> SSL -> (Pre)-Master-Secret log filename`.
+
+Note that :envvar:`SSLKEYLOGFILE` is respected by other programs as well, e.g. Firefox and Chrome.
+If this creates any issues, you can set :envvar:`MITMPROXY_SSLKEYLOGFILE` alternatively. \ No newline at end of file
