If you check the encryption box, the communication between browser and WeeChat will be encrypted with TLS.

Note: If you are using a self-signed certificate, you have to visit https://{{ settings.host || 'weechathost' }}:{{ settings.port || 'relayport' }}/ in your browser first to add a security exception. You can close that tab once you confirmed the certificate, no content will appear. The necessity of this process is a bug in Firefox and other browsers.

Note: If you are using a self-signed certificate, you have to visit https://{{ settings.host || 'weechathost' }}:{{ settings.port || 'relayport' }}/weechat in your browser first to add a security exception. You can close that tab once you confirmed the certificate, no content will appear. The necessity of this process is a bug in Firefox and other browsers.

Setup: If you want to use an encrypted session you first have to set up the relay to use TLS. You basically have two options: a self-signed certificate is easier to set up, but requires manual security exceptions. Using a certificate that is trusted by your browser requires more setup, but offers greater convenience later on and does not require security exceptions. You can find a guide to set up WeeChat with a free trusted certificate from StartSSL here. Should you wish to use a self-signed certificate instead, execute the following commands in a shell on the same host and as the user running WeeChat:
