Is My Connection to Neo4j Aura Encrypted?

Connections to Neo4j Aura in either the Neo4j Desktop or Browser will use the neo4j+s URI, which provides a secured connection with full routing. These connections use SSL to encrypt all transmissions sent over the wire. 

You can also use neo4j+ssc connecting to Neo4j Aura instances in your applications or Neo4j toolings like cypher-shell which will be using Self-Signed Certificate to create SSL connections between your application and Aura instances.

Attempting to connect to your Neo4j AuraDB Instance without SSL will result in an error message.

When connecting to your Neo4j AuraDB Instance using one of our drivers, be sure to use the encrypted option on the driver connection string. Note: Neo4j Aura supports TLS versions 1.2 and above. Please see the individual driver documentation for specific details.
