Upwork supports the latest two versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari across desktop and mobile. To ensure secure access, users must enable TLS protocols, as outdated SSL protocols are disabled due to security risks. TLS settings can be adjusted in the Windows Control Panel under Internet Options.
To help you make this your home for work, we support several different browsers so that you can use the one you like the best. We support the latest two major versions of these browsers:
| Desktop | Android | iOS |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome Microsoft Edge Mozilla Firefox Apple Safari |
Google Chrome | Apple Safari |
Enable TLS
No matter which browser you’re using, you must enable TLS protocols to securely access the Upwork website and app. We have disabled SSL protocols because they are outdated and insufficiently secure. This is generally only an issue on older Windows systems.
If you are on a Windows PC and have a fast and stable Internet connection but still experience SSL error messages when visiting Upwork.com or a full cache in the Upwork desktop app, please check that you have TLS protocols enabled. We disabled SSL protocols to improve security for all users and protect from cyberattacks (for example, SSL is vulnerable to POODLE attacks).
To Enable TLS on Windows
- Open your Control Panel, select Internet Options, then choose the Advanced tab.
- Scroll down to the Security section of the Settings list. Uncheck the SSL boxes to disable all SSL protocols and check the TLS boxes to enable all TLS protocols.
