If your server or proxy enforces a higher minimum (e.g., TLS 1.3), you will encounter an SSL handshake error with the message: + ``` + HTTP request returned error code = 0 + ``` + This limitation only affects **Wi-Fi/LTE connections**. When connected over **Bluetooth**, the watch routes requests through the paired phone, which handles the TLS handshake and supports newer TLS versions (such as 1.3) without issue. + To fix this, lower the minimum TLS setting to allow TLS 1.2. For example, if you are using **Cloudflare Tunneling**, go to: + `SSL/TLS → Edge Certificates → Minimum TLS Version` + and set it to **at most TLS 1.2**. _Reducing below TLS 1.2 is not recommended due to security risks._ ## Video This video using will hopefully make it obvious how slow it is to use the Wi-Fi option and illustrate the cautionary notes above.
