She closed the console and leaned back. The server hummed on, oblivious to its new loyalty. In five minutes, a script would test the chain: the leaf cert for the toll reader, the intermediate, and finally, the new root. All green. All trusted.
Do not let Windows automatically select the certificate store. Choose the option: Place all certificates in the following store . install team r2r root certificate install
Because the fake server cannot get an official SSL certificate from a trusted authority, Team R2R acts as their own certificate authority (CA).

A: No. Uninstalling the R2R System or the specific VST plugin does not remove the root certificate. It remains in your system's certificate store until you manually delete it.
However, this technical convenience carries profound security implications. The root certificate store is the bedrock of system security. By adding a third-party root, a user grants that certificate authority the ability to sign any code or, in theory, to decrypt network traffic and forge website identities. While R2R is a known entity within its niche, installing their root certificate creates a vulnerability. A malicious actor could, in theory, compromise the R2R private key or distribute a fake certificate under the same name. Once the root is installed, the system will trust any code signed by that key—good or bad. Furthermore, unlike commercial root certificates, self-signed roots do not come with revocation mechanisms or oversight. It is a permanent, silent change to the operating system’s trust model.
