HTTPS is the secure form of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It employs the SSL/TLS protocol for encryption and authentication, ensuring secure communication between the web server and the browser. This protocol encrypts HTTP requests and responses to prevent unauthorized access to the information exchanged between your browser and the web server. Without HTTPS, someone can intercept and steal sensitive information from your website visitors, including login credentials and credit card details. After installing Apache or Nginx on Ubuntu 24.04, the service will only run on port 80 by default. To enable HTTPS protocol on Ubuntu 24.04, we need to configure Apache or Nginx to listen on port 443 and install an SSL certificate. In this article, we will show you how to enable the HTTPS protocol on Ubuntu 24.04.
