14 **As of 01.03.2020**, our servers will only use **TLS 1.2 or higher** according to the [[BSI >>url:https://www.bsi.bund.de/DE/Themen/StandardsKriterien/Mindeststandards_Bund/TLS-Protokoll/TLS-Protokoll_node.html||shape="rect"]]standard to ensure state-of-the-art encryption security. As a result, older browsers or operating system variants (see list below) will no longer be able to access our services, as they do not support the required TLS versions.
