+SSL Bridging
+-------------
+The following configuration terminates incoming HTTPS traffic on the router, then re-encrypts the traffic and sends
+to the backend server via HTTPS. This is useful if encryption is required for both legs, but you do not want to
+install publicly trusted certificates on each backend server.
+
+Backend service certificates are checked against the certificate authority specified in the configuration, which
+could be an internal CA.
