      Another improvement to dedicated servers is that we've implemented support for TLS, which stands for Transfer Layer Security, which is end-to-end encryption for both server traffic and game traffic.

      When creating a dedicated server, you can either generate a certificate manually or have the server generate one for you when booting up automatically.

      And when connecting to the server, you'll be prompted with the certificate to verify that the instance is safe to connect to.

      This might sound a bit complicated, but it really is quite easy.

      Like, even I could do it.

      So, like, when you connect, you just need to check that the certificate is correct.

      And, you know, if you don't care about this stuff, then you can just close your eyes and just press the button or whatever.

      Just connect.

      I just connect to any dedicated server I find, honestly.

      When booting up a fresh dedicated server, you'll be greeted by this little guy.
