ForceTLS: Automatically Enforces HTTPS and TLS 1.2+

An open-source tool for improving website security, ForceTLS forces HTTPS and TLS 1.2+ connections on all web traffic.

What is ForceTLS?

ForceTLS is an open-source tool developed by Cali Dog Security that forces HTTPS and TLS encryption on all web traffic that passes through it. It acts as a proxy that users can deploy on their websites or web applications to automatically upgrade insecure HTTP connections to encrypted HTTPS connections using TLS 1.2 or newer.

One of the main benefits of ForceTLS is that it makes enabling HTTPS very easy - users don't have to modify their application code or set up certificates to use it. They simply deploy the ForceTLS proxy in front of their site. The proxy then intercepts all requests and redirects them to use HTTPS and the latest TLS encryption standards before proxying them on to the origin web server.

This makes ForceTLS a great option for adding a layer of transport security to websites and web apps that don't force HTTPS themselves. It can help meet security compliance requirements, prevent eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks, and give users confidence that their data is encrypted in transit.

As an open source tool, ForceTLS is free to use and customizable. It works by default out of the box after a simple deployment, but also allows overriding settings like permitted HTTP hosts and headers if needed. Overall, it makes enabling TLS encryption easy for websites without modifying application code.
