+#### Configuring Schemes
+
+It is possible to specify the connection scheme for each Redis server. By default clients are using the `tcp` scheme,
+but if you want to leverage TLS/SSL encryption when connecting to secured Redis instances, you should use the `tls` scheme:

+    'redis' => [

+            'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),

 #### Configuring Clusters
 
 If your application is utilizing a cluster of Redis servers, you should define these clusters within a `clusters` key of your Redis configuration:
