My Quectel module requires TLS 1.2 but my HiveMQ currently supports TLS 1.3 and it’s making connection impossible. I need TLS 1.2 enabled. How can this be done? Thanks.

Hi @Sam

Welcome to the community. We’re here to support you as you explore what HiveMQ and MQTT have to offer.

In HiveMQ Cloud, you can create a trial (15 days) Starter cluster, which supports both TLS 1.2 and 1.3

I hope it helps your project.

Best,

Dasha from The HiveMQ Team

Hello,

We already have a paid version and we don’t know how to switch to TLS 1.2, it already seems locked on TLS 1.3, how do we fix this?

Thanks

Hi @Sam

Try [SSLCheck | Test SSL, TLS and STARTTLS config on custom ports | binsec.tools](https://binsec.tools/check/tls-ssl/)

Input your hostname:8883

It will reveal what is supported and what is not supported.
