One of the biggest challenges ran into was running our node server over HTTPS. This was required because our web frontend had to run over HTTPS to get the User geolocation data. If the frontend runs over HTTPS and node runs over HTTP, the browser complains about serving insecure data, and does not display any of the fetched data. When we configured node to run over HTTPS, the browser complained again saying that the server certificate may be fraudulent.

Trying to figure out what is the workaround. Going to run our node server locally and opened up the port we used by using ngrok to get an HTTPS link.
