NOTE: This one has not outout

$ Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath .\mitmproxy-ca-cert.p12 Cert:\LocalMachine\Root

And now if you check certificates from cert manager using:

$ certlm

You won't find any certificates with name/description mitmproxy.

Solution

Download the certificate mitmproxy-ca-cert.cer available for Android from http://mitm.it after setting up the proxy. And run the following command (Requires Admin Privileges for LocalMachine):

$ powershell.exe "Import-Certificate -FilePath .\mitmproxy-ca-cert.cer -CertStoreLocation cert:\LocalMachine\Root"


    Directory: Microsoft.PowerShell.Security\Certificate::LocalMachine\Root


Thumbprint                                Subject
----------                                -------
3167632FC7FAFB43EB6A04662CEE5069D7D319F7  O=mitmproxy, CN=mitmproxy

Verify that the certificate is installed by going to certlm or listing the root certificates:

$ dir cert:\\LocalMachine\Root
