##  󠀁[ Enable HTTPS for a VIP Local Development Environment ](https://docs.wpvip.com/vip-local-development-environment/enable-https/)󠁿

By default, VIP Local Development Environment URLs resolve with `HTTP` rather than`
HTTPS`, the secure browsing protocol. When developing locally, some users may have
a need for URLs to resolve at `HTTPS` (e.g. applications with payment integrations).
For `HTTPS` to work as expected, a trusted digital certificate issued by a certificate
authority (CA certificate) for the local environment must be added to the user’s
machine.
