-    Tick 'Ignore SSL authorization errors' if you generally trust the server and do not want to be bothered with this.
+    Tick 'Ignore SSL authorization errors' to accept a server certificate that cannot be verified, e.g. a
+    self-signed certificate or one issued for another host name. The connection is then still encrypted, but the
+    server is not authenticated: anybody able to intercept the connection may receive your user name and password
+    and feed in manipulated data. The ignored errors are logged. Better save the CA certificate of the Ntrip
+    Broadcaster in the 'Path to SSL certificates' directory.
