When you log in to SolusVM 2 for the first time, your browser may show you a warning about an untrusted SSL/TLS certificate. Not to worry. During its installation, SolusVM 2 secures the connection between the browser and the web application with an SSL/TLS certificate. If the management server is public-facing, SolusVM 2 installs a free SSL/TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt. If the management server is inside an internal network, SolusVM 2 installs a self-signed SSL/TLS certificate, which causes that warning. Either way, your SolusVM 2 connection is secured and encrypted.
