📌 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁:
1️⃣ Obtain an 𝗦𝗦𝗟/𝗧𝗟𝗦 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲.
2️⃣ Configure your server (e.g., Nginx, Apache, or Kestrel).
3️⃣ Redirect all HTTP traffic to 𝗛𝗧𝗧𝗣𝗦.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝘁?
𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝘁 is a middleware for 𝗡𝗼𝗱𝗲.𝗷𝘀 that adds security headers to your application, making it less vulnerable to attacks.

🔐 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀:
