While accessing the router via HTTPS, the browser might show a message saying "Your connection is not private" or "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead." To improve this, Network Administrator could apply for a certificate from the trusted third party agent then import it to Vigor Router and use it for HTTPS Access.

DrayTek routers support three types of certificate:

• Local Certificate: Use this type when the original certificate is generated by the router itself.
• PKCS12: Use this type when the certificate is in this format.
• Certificate and Private Key: Use this type when the certificate and the private key are offered separately.

The following steps will show how to use import a certificate for an HTTPS connection, and in this example, we will use the type "Certificate and Private Key".

1. From [System Maintenance] > [Time and Date] check if the Current System Time of the router is correct.

2. On the DrayTek router, go to [Certificate Management] > [Local Certificate], click on import.

1. Select Certificate and Private Key.
2. In Certificate file, click Browse and select the Certificate File downloaded from the third party agent. (File extension should be .crt or .cer)
3. In Key file, click Browse and select the Key File downloaded from the third party agent. (File extension should be .key or .pem)
4. Click Import
   

3. If the certificate is imported successfully, the status would show OK on
