# 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]`.
