Enable HTTPS

HTTPS (TLS/SSL)

HTTPS is the secure method of HTTP and is commonly accepted as "the" method to provide pages on the internet. By default MistServer only serves HTTP, this is simply because setting up HTTPS requires some form of manual input. Here we'll guide you in how to set that up.
