# HTTPS setup to encrypt connections to Gitea
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Using built-in server
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Before you enable HTTPS make sure that you have valid SSL/TLS certificates.
 | 
						|
You could use self-generated certificates for evaluation and testing. Please run `gitea cert --host [HOST]` to generate a self signed certificate.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To use Gitea's built-in HTTPS support you must change your `app.ini` file:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```ini
 | 
						|
[server]
 | 
						|
PROTOCOL=https
 | 
						|
ROOT_URL = `https://git.example.com:3000/`
 | 
						|
HTTP_PORT = 3000
 | 
						|
CERT_FILE = cert.pem
 | 
						|
KEY_FILE = key.pem
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
To learn more about the config values, please checkout the [Config Cheat Sheet](../config-cheat-sheet#server).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Using reverse proxy
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Setup up your reverse proxy like shown in the [reverse proxy guide](../reverse-proxies).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
After that, enable HTTPS by following one of these guides:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* [nginx](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html)
 | 
						|
* [apache2/httpd](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/ssl/ssl_howto.html)
 | 
						|
* [caddy](https://caddyserver.com/docs/tls)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note: You connection between your reverse proxy and gitea might be unencrypted. To encrypt it too follow the [built-in server guide](#using-built-in-server) and change
 | 
						|
the proxy url to `https://[URL]`.
