 If we want to access the client certificate, we can enable the `includeClientCert` option in the SSL configuration. This allows us to access the client certificate via `req.remoteCertificate` in the request handler.
 
+The `protocols` parameter in `SSLConfig` allows configuring supported TLS protocol versions. This is useful for disabling older protocol versions for security reasons.

 ### Client Implementation
 
 Similarly, the client implementation for mTLS requires both a keystore (containing the client's certificate and private key) and a truststore (containing the CA certificate used to verify the server's certificate). The client will automatically send its certificate during the TLS handshake if configured correctly:
