Hello Saurabh,
When you access any website via proxy and face error "S_X509_DNS_MISMATCH: SSL Certificate has DNS errors"
that means certificate of that website is broken.
(Even you properly configured SSL certificate inside browser)
SafeSquid stores all those websites whose certificates are broken under this path /var/db/safesquid/ssl/badcerts/

root@dev:~# cd /var/db/safesquid/ssl/
root@dev:/var/db/safesquid/ssl# ll
total 52
drwxrwxr-- 2 ssquid root 4096 Jul 4 2017 serials
drwxrwxr-- 2 ssquid root 4096 Mar 9 16:30 goodcerts
drwxrwxr-- 71 ssquid root 4096 Mar 9 16:45 badcerts
drwxrwxr-- 1022 ssquid root 36864 Mar 12 12:16 certs

You should find the domain of website at given path.
Run command: cd /var/db/safesquid/ssl/badcerts/

Go to that FQDN by command :vi FQDN (e.g. vi webmail.safesquid.net
Run command:vi webmail.safesquid.net
