Secure Connection Setup

This classroom server creates its own security certificate so games work over HTTPS without internet. Your browser doesn't know this certificate yet, so it may show a warning the first time. You have two options:

Option 1 — Quick (just proceed once)

On the warning page tap Advanced → Proceed / Continue to site. Your browser remembers the choice on this device.

Continue to Games →

You'll be taken to the secure address automatically.

Option 2 — Recommended (install the certificate, no warnings ever)
