Opinion: first article looks better as an introduction than the devblog one, but but should still be read in that order

What is SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)? | Cloudflare
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an encryption security protocol. Transport Layer Security, or TLS, has replaced SSL. Learn the definition of SSL and how it works.
SSL is otherwise known as HTTPS
yes ive read up on SSL itself, but implenting things ive learnt in c# doesnt come naturally
for example, i have now a networkStream, from which i create a SSL stream. Cool, but then i need certificates etc
You don't implement SSL in your project
You get a cert and bind it to the domain, so to speak
Something like Certbot would make it automatic
But other than that, you can get free certs from LetsEncrypt
do they work locally?
im not actually accessing the internet as such
the clients and server are all being run on my local network
Ah, well, locally, you should have a development cert installed
You should be able to access your app via HTTPS
That said... what's the point of encryption if everything is local...?
