my server(4.6.0) is working great and clients are connecting using [http://myserver:8065](http://myserver:8065) Now I’m trying to enable secure connection using TLS and Let’s Encrypt Key. It seems to be an easy task but I’m unable to connect to the server once those are enabled via admin console and after service restart. Any toughts? Am I missing something? Cheers. ---

Hi @RbDev, Thanks for your feedback, Perhaps [this documentation](https://docs.mattermost.com/install/config-tls-mattermost.html) will help? This [forum post](https://forum.mattermost.com/t/solved-unable-to-start-webserver-using-tls-access-is-denied-win64/3469) might also help with troubleshooting? ---

Hi Lindy, I’ve tried using the documentation but I can’t use port 443. This is being used by my webserver. Mattermost Settings: Port: 8065 Connection Security: TLS Forward Port 80 to 443: False Activate CAP\_NET\_BIND\_SERVICE: No since this seems to only be needed for 443 port. Use Let’s Encrypt: True Service Restart. Can’t log in. The forum you linked seems to be related to specific TLS key. It should not affect Let’s Encrypt. The log doesnt point any issues. Let me know your toughts. ---

I really appreciate help here. I dont like to leave my messages unencrypted. Let me know if you need any other info. Cheers ---

@RbDev As mentioned in the documentation, there are 2 options to setup TLS. It seems setting up TLS from Mattermost server is not possible to you since you cannot setup `Forward80To443` to true. In that case, I suggest you go on configuring [NGINX with SSL](https://docs.mattermost.com/install/config-ssl-http2-nginx.html?highlight=nginx). Before doing that, make sure to follow guide in configuring [NGINX](https://docs.mattermost.com/install/config-proxy-nginx.html?highlight=nginx) as proxy server for Mattermost. ---

In that case I will wait for the url subdirectory support implementation to have SSL done by my webserver via proxypass >
