+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.
