TLS operates at a different layer and when used with Tor it's protection against MITM and route poisoning is redundant, but it does enable manual verification that you are connecting to the service you intend if you manually check the cert. In general using Tor with TLS is mostly a nice to have.1

SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN means that a certificate was served that doesn't match the domain you are currently on.

after implementing it exactly like the tutorial, why is it that if you open the mempool in your local network, then the browser simply shows the error "self-signed certificate are you sure you want to trusted it?" By the way 402 uses nginx proxy to set all of this stuff up.
PS i used duckduck go to refernece the videos, since bitcointv.com is down atm
