SSL Certificates and how to set them up

By default, branded links from Sendgrid do not come with valid security certificates (i.e. no “https://”), as likely no one is hosting the chosen subdomain and issuing them.

This can cause problems with some browsers,browser extensions, and networks with strict requirements for security

It is possible to set up a CDN/proxy that issues security certificates and provides the HTTPS connection with help from your IT team

The CDN/proxy must be hosted by you.
