Shortcuts

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 that is not trusted by your device, you will not be able to connect using the Glowing Bear app. Unfortunately, that is a platform limitation and there is nothing we can do about that. We recommend that you obtain a trusted certificate. One way to do so is described here, but nowadays Let’s Encrypt is probably the better option than StartSSL.
