 @chapter Encrypted connections
 
+While RFC 1436 does not broach the topic of encryption at all, several
+modern gopher servers can serve content over encrypted connections,
+and a common choice for this is TLS.
+
+Elpher can retrieve selectors using Emacs' built-in TLS support which
+uses the GnuTLS library. (It is possible to build emacs without
+GnuTLS, in which case encryption is not supported.)
+
+To retrieve documents using TLS, Elpher's TLS mode must be enabled.
+This can be directly toggled using @key{T}, but note that just as with
+the character encoding, changing this mode only affects subsequent
+connections.
+
+Alternatively, TLS mode is @emph{automatically} enabled whenever
+gopher URLs starting with @code{gophers://} are followed.
+
+The mode is sticky, so it remains active until switched off.
+It can also be automatically switched off when a TLS connection fails.
+In this case Elpher will prompt for your confirmation to ensure that
+you can't accidentally make a non-TLS connection.
