Note: Enabling HTTPS only at the proxy level is referred as [TLS Termination Proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLS_termination_proxy). The proxy server accepted incoming TLS connections, decrypts the contents, and pass the now unencrypted contents to Gitea.

If your Gitea instance is separated from your proxy over a public network, or if you want full end-to-end encryption, you can also [enable HTTPS support directly in Gitea using built-in server](#using-the-built-in-server) and forward the connections over HTTPS instead.
