Dynamic modules are shared object files (`.so`) that can be loaded at runtime using the [`load_module`](https://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#load_module) directive in the NGINX configuration.

### NGINX-authored and NGINX-certified dynamic modules

NGINX maintains the official NGINX Plus repository, which also provides packaged binaries for both [NGINX‑authored]({{< ref "/nginx/admin-guide/installing-nginx/installing-nginx-plus.md#nginx-authored-dynamic-modules" >}}) and [NGINX‑certified community]({{< ref "/nginx/admin-guide/installing-nginx/installing-nginx-plus.md#nginx-certified-community-dynamic-modules" >}}) dynamic modules. All modules in this repository are fully tested to ensure full compatibility with NGINX Plus.

For module‑specific installation and usage instructions, select the corresponding package name in the table.

TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 are the default SSL protocols starting from NGINX Plus R34 (if supported by the OpenSSL library). If OpenSSL 1.0.0 or older is used, the default SSL protocols are TLSv1 and TLSv1.1.

{{< call-out "note" "Important" >}} NGINX Plus is built on the latest minor release of each supported operating system platform. In many cases, the latest revisions of these operating systems are adapting their platforms to support OpenSSL 3.5 (for example, RHEL 9.7 and 10.1). In these situations, NGINX Plus requires that OpenSSL 3.5.0 or later is installed for proper operation. {{< /call-out >}}
