If you use PRTG Network Monitor outside your internal LAN, in particular if you use it on the internet, you should set the PRTG web server to use SSL/TLS.

The connection to your PRTG web server is secured with SSL/TLS anyway and you can confirm the claimed security risk.
Every browser shows a slightly different SSL certificate warning that you need to confirm to proceed:
You can avoid these browser warnings if you use your own trusted SSL certificate with PRTG. For this purpose, we provide the freeware tool PRTG Certificate Importer.
