How to switch to https

[Ben Riv]

Hello,

In Laragon I clicked on Apache>>SSL>>enabled

What else do I need to add a https to my test site please as when I type the laravel site with https in the front (I have set https in my .ENV file), I get this:

This site can’t be reached

mynewproject.dev refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Thanks

@Ben-Riv : Can you check if Apache's SSL port is enabled in Menu > Preferences > Services & Ports?

[Ben Riv]

thanks for the reply.
Yes apache port 443 ssl is enabled.(ticked)

ok got it, I had to restart apache for it to work.

I do get a lot ot warnings that the connection is insecure in Chrome, is this normal?
Is it because the certificate is local, any idea please?
