HTTPS
Encrypted web traffic built from HTTP plus TLS
Core Idea
HTTPS protects web requests and responses by running HTTP over TLS. It keeps login data, cookies, and API traffic from moving across the network in plaintext.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses HTTPS across reverse proxies, FastAPI security, and homelab exposure design. The moment a service becomes public, this is one of the first layers that must be correct.
