-## New SSL Configuration
+## (Breaking Change) New SSL configuration
 
-A new variable `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_preset`, bringing some breaking changes. The default configuration is set to `"intermediate"`.
-This changes `ssl_prefer_server_ciphers` to `off` by default instead of `on`. It also add some more ciphers to the list, this should
-give a little better performance for mobile devices and removes weak ciphers. More information in the [documentation](docs/configuring-playbook-nginx.md).
-To revert to the old behaviour just set the following variables:
+SSL configuration (protocols, ciphers) can now be more easily controlled thanks to us making use of configuration presets.
+
+We define a few presets (old, intermediate, modern), following the [Mozilla SSL Configuration Generator](https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/#server=nginx).
+
+A new variable `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_preset` controls which preset is used (defaults to `"intermediate"`).
+
+Compared to before, this changes nginx's `ssl_prefer_server_ciphers` to `off`  (used to default to `on`). It also add some more ciphers to the list, giving better performance on mobile devices, and removes some weak ciphers. More information in the [documentation](docs/configuring-playbook-nginx.md).
+
+To revert to the old behaviour, set the following variables:
 
 ```yaml
 matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_ciphers: "EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH"
 matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_prefer_server_ciphers: "on"
 ```
 
+Just like before, you can still use your own custom protocols by specifying them in `matrix_nginx_proxy_ssl_protocols`. Doing so overrides the values coming from the preset.
