# HTTPS & TLS
Overview
{: .subtitle }
Traefik supports HTTPS & TLS, which concerns roughly two parts of the configuration:
routers, and the TLS connection (and its underlying certificates).
When a router has to handle HTTPS traffic,
it should be specified with a `tls` field of the router definition.
See the TLS section of the [routers documentation ](../routing/routers/index.md#tls ).
The next sections of this documentation explain how to configure the TLS connection itself.
That is to say, how to obtain [TLS certificates ](./tls.md#certificates-definition ):
either through a definition in the dynamic configuration, or through [Let's Encrypt ](./acme.md ) (ACME).
And how to configure [TLS options ](./tls.md#tls-options ), and [certificates stores ](./tls.md#certificates-stores ).
