Secure protocol HTTPS
Data protection is extremely important in some services, for example, in electronic payment systems or in online stores, therefore they use only HTTPS. This protocol is also very often used in other services that process private information, including any personal data. The presence of encrypted data transmission increases customer loyalty by ensuring that their personal data will remain secret and no one can use it for their own purposes.

Using this protocol requires SSL certificate purchase . |
How to start using HTTPS?
- You need to buy SSL certificate from a specialized certificate retailer first. For example, the largest seller in the world https://www.symantec.com/ru/ru/ssl-certificates/
- You must install certificate on the server where your site is located after you have purchased a certificate. You can provide certificate to your hosting provider and he will do it himself.
- It's necessary to configure HTTPS protocol in OT Box when certificate is installed on your server.
Error will be issued stating that connection is not secure if you enable setting without installed SSL certificate. Some browsers block such sites!

We need API key to install such captcha, therefore we go to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin. You should be registered in Google to get access to this page.You will be prompted to register your site and enter a list of domains where this particular reCAPTCHA will be used. Subdomains are automatically counted.
Note! We support only reCAPTCHA v2 (version 2) or more earlier versions. We don't support new versions.

Key protection
You must specify IP address of the server where your Box is located in order to protect your Personal Key (Instance Key) from illegal use, when it comes to third parties. Key will not work on another server besides yours when the setting is enabled.
Contact your system administrator or technical support of your hosting to find out your server IP address. Most often, dedicated IP address is most often paid separately (provided as a hosting service, but usually price rarely exceeds a couple of dollars a month, but there are also tariffs where server IP address is used as the main service and is included in the monthly fee).
