Windows Server 2022was released in 2021 which introduced native support forHTTP/3.
That said, HTTP/3 still needs to be enabled on Server 2022.
In this article, we show you how to enable HTTP/3 and configure all relevant tweaks.
HTTP/3 is a new standard in development that will affect how web browsers and servers communicate.
It was released in June 2022, after its last major iteration in 2015.
When the first internet protocols were created, devices were less portable and did not swap networks frequently.
QUIC is intended for internet users that are heavily reliant on mobile devices, such as smartphones.
This protocol significantly reduces the delay due to the transfer of the internet connection between wi-fi and cellular data.
Additionally, HTTP/3 also has more comprehensive encryption, making it the most secure HTTP iteration yet.
With the benefits of HTTP/3 known, let us show you how to enable it on Windows Server 2022.
Note:It is assumed that you have already enabled IIS and installed IIS Manager on your server.
Continue to perform the following methods in the given order to enable HTTP/3 for IIS.
Note:Misconfiguration of critical values in the systems registry could be fatal for your operating system.
Therefore, we insist that you create asystem restore pointbefore proceeding forward with the process.
Extract its contents and then initiate the Registry file to enable TLS 1.3 and HTTP/3.
This can be done by running a simple cmdlet in PowerShell.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it successfully:
initiate the IIS Management console.
Remove the default binding entries.
You have now successfully configured HTTP/3 for IIS on Server 2022.
However, there are still a few confirmations to make before proceeding.
check that that QUIC traffic (Port 443) is allowed through the firewall.
fire off the following cmdlet in PowerShell.
If the status returns as True, it means that it has been allowed.
If not, then you must eitherallow the port through the firewallor disable it completely.
Additionally, you will have more complex encryption, which means more security for your website.
