## HTTPS
-As of [v1.16.0](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/tag/v1.16.0), Netdata can send metrics to OpenTSDB using TLS/SSL. Unfortunately, OpenTDSB does not support encrypted connections, so you will have to configure a reverse proxy to enable HTTPS communication between Netdata and OpenTSBD. You can set up a reverse proxy with [Nginx](../../docs/Running-behind-nginx.md).

destination = localhost:8082

-In this example, we used the port `8082` for our reverse proxy. If your reverse proxy listens on a different port, change the `destination = localhost:8082` line accordingly.
