Notes
If Reveal was loaded from a Cypher Workbench deployment over https, then you will only be able to connect to Neo4j Aura databases or network accessible Neo4j databases over a secure protocol, such as neo4j+s or bolt+s. There are a few exceptions - you may be able to connect to databases accessible via localhost using a non-secure protocol such as neo4j or bolt. For more information on URLs, Encrypted, and Proxy see Neo4j connection types.
