We recommend that you enable HTTPS when browsing secure Web pages using BOLT. A few secure (HTTPS) Web pages fail to load due to device restrictions or the proxy blocking port 443. To overcome this limitation, BOLT created a lightweight cryptographic algorithm to encrypt secure Web pages. To enable this light encryption mechanism, select “Preferences” from the “Menu”, uncheck the “HTTPS” check box and select “Save”.
