SSL/TLS is a security protocol that helps protect the privacy of communications between servers and browsers. When you visit a website, the site’s server sends your browser a request for a secure connection.
If you’re using a secure connection, your browser will show a padlock in the address bar.
If you’re using a public Wi-Fi network, your browser will send your request to the nearest website server, which may not be the site’s actual server. For this reason, you should always use a secure connection when connecting to websites.
