As web developers, one of our key responsibilities is to ensure the security of the websites we create. An essential step in securing a website is setting up SSL/TLS, which encrypts data transferred between a user's browser and the web server, protecting it from interception or tampering. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk through how to set up SSL/TLS for your website hosted on a Linux server using Nginx and Certbot. SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols designed to provide secure communication over a computer network. When a website is accessed via HTTPS, these protocols ensure that the data transmitted is secure and encrypted.
