You can set the encryption connection between the server and your visitors' web browser by turning on Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for your Custom Domain. This one is particularly important when you need to set up a secure connection for your campaign funnels. The below guide instructs you how to enable the SSL certificate for your Custom Domain.
BEFORE YOU START
Almost 90% of the Internet traffic is generated by modern browsers that support the SSL/TLS certificate. It means that when you set up the SSL option for your Custom Domain, most of your visitors will see campaigns that you are advertising. However, it might happen that some visitors cannot see the ad because they use the browser that does not support the encryption protocol (either TLS or SSL) option.
BROWSERS SUPPORTED WITH SSL
SSL is supported with all modern browsers as listed below:
| Desktop browser: | Mobile browser: |
|---|---|
| Google Chrome Version 5.0.342.1 and higher installed on Mac OS X 10.5.7 and newer Version 6 and higher installed on Windows XP * All versions installed on Windows Vista | Android browser * Installed on Android 3.0 and newer |
