SSL Certificate Verification

The integration skips TLS certificate verification of your GL.iNet router on every connection. Verification is off by default because most GL.iNet routers ship with a self-signed certificate that fails strict validation.

When to enable it

Enable Verify SSL Certificate in the config or options form if your router uses a trusted certificate — for example, one issued by a private CA on your network or by a public CA such as Let's Encrypt.

What it does

• Disabled (default) — Certificate validation is skipped. Any TLS certificate is accepted, including the stock GL.iNet self-signed certificate. This is functionally equivalent to clicking through a browser's "your connection is not private" warning. The setting only affects traffic to your own router on your local network.
• Enabled — HTTPS requests validate the certificate against the system trust store. Self-signed, expired, or mismatched certificates cause the connection to fail.

Changing the setting

1. Settings → Devices & Services → GL.iNet Router → Configure.
2. Toggle Verify SSL Certificate.
3. Submit. The options form re-runs the connection test and full login before saving, so a broken setting will surface as a cannot_connect error instead of being persisted.
