TLS support
===========
The generic TLS implementation which is currently used by OpenWRT can be installed or added as dependency through the package ``gluon-tls``.
This removes the need for community packages to depend on a specific TLS implementation (like mbedtls, OpenSSL or WolfSSL).
This package is a placeholder for the current TLS implementation used.
To allow for easy usage of communicating through HTTPS from the node, typical Certificate Authorities (CAs) are included through the package ``ca-bundle`` .
* Starting with OpenWRT 23.05, mbedtls is the default TLS layer - this is reflected in Gluon :ref:`v2023.2 <releases-v2023.2-minor-changes>`. HTTPS is used by default to communicate with OpenWRT opkg servers.
