Explanation

WSTLSD (Web SSL/TLS Daemon) is the Check Point daemon responsible for HTTPS Inspection, as it handles the SSL/TLS interception process - decrypting inbound HTTPS traffic, inspecting it, and re-encrypting it before forwarding.

FWD (Firewall Daemon) manages general policy enforcement and SIC communication, not SSL inspection.
HTTPD handles the Check Point web management portal (SmartConsole access), not traffic inspection.
VPND manages VPN tunnel establishment and encryption, which is a separate function from HTTPS Inspection.

Memory tip: Break down the name - Web SSL/TLS Daemon → WSTLSD. If it has "SSL/TLS" baked into its name, it's your go-to for HTTPS Inspection debugging.
