Shah Rafique asked 2 years ago

Greetings to you:
I constructed Web Server project with the ESP32 and when I type private IP address 192.68.0.98, then the Google Chrome browser indicate that “Not secure” for the page I am trying to go in the ESP-32 Web Server.
Any remedy? Thank you

Hi.
What project exactly are you following?
Google chrome says it’s not secure because we’re not using any type of encryption or SSL certificates.

Sara: Thanks for the replying. I was out of town. The project I used in “1_3_SPIFFS_Arduino” from “Build_Web_Servers_ESP32_ESP8266_V2_1” book. Project is working great, but “Not secure” bothers me. can we use encryption or SSL certificates?
If nothing can be done, I am okay with that. Thanks again

Hi.
Unfortunately, currently the AsyncWebServer library doesn’t support TLS/SSL.
There are other libraries compatible with the ESP32, or ESP8266 that allow you to add TLS/SSL encryption to your web servers. But, these libraries are completely different than the AsyncWebServer. So, you would need to redesign all the projects.

As soon as the AsyncWebServer library adds TLS support, we intend to update our instructions to add that. But, at the moment there isn’t such an option.

I hope this is clear.
Let me know if you need further help.

Regards,
Sara
