# HTTPS Support

SSL/TLS support is not part of Document Engine. To secure connections, we recommend one of the options below.

If you’ve deployed to the cloud, we recommend using a load balancing solution provided by your cloud platform provider:

- [AWS Elastic Load Balancing](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/applicationloadbalancer/)

- [Google Cloud Platform Load Balancing](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/)

- [Azure Load Balancer](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/load-balancer-overview)

An alternative is to set up an [NGINX](https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/) server as a reverse proxy to Document Engine. You can configure [NGINX](https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/) to support SSL/TLS, and then you can point this to your certificate. A guide for this can be found on the [NGINX Reverse Proxy](https://www.nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/reverse-proxy/) article.
