Describe the Bug

The documentation states "The Sunshine user interface will be available on port 47990 by default.", but it does not indicate that the service is only listening on on HTTPS via a self-signed certificate. This is confusing to me (and I almost filed a different bug report that the service was not started) because I had only attempted to connect via HTTP, since that is the default behavior in Chrome when I type "localhost:47790" into my navigation bar.

I only saw https in the sunshine.log as a clue at the last minute before scrapping a previous bug report.

Expected Behavior

I expect that the documentation indicates the service is only listening on HTTPS, or that the default behavior is to listen on HTTP and allow the user to configure HTTPS on their own time. As a localhost service with no configured certificate I did not even think about HTTPS.

Additional Context

This is a compounding bug to #2071 which made it very hard to diagnose if the service was even operating at all. It is not directly relevant to this report, but that is why I filed two reports at the same time.

Chrome is also not very helpful here.

It's not really necessary to make it clear. The tray icon will open the UI, as well as the start menu icon.

P.S. please do not open support requests as bug reports.
