The command "speedtest-cli --secure" is used to initiate a secure connection while performing a network speed test using the Speedtest-cli tool.

Speedtest-cli is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that allows you to measure the speed of your internet connection. It is powered by Ookla, a renowned company that provides Internet testing and analysis services.

By adding the "--secure" parameter to the command, you are instructing Speedtest-cli to use an encrypted connection during the speed test. This ensures that the test results are transmitted securely between your system and Speedtest servers, protecting your data and maintaining privacy.

Using a secure connection is recommended, especially if you are concerned about the privacy and security of your network speed test results. It prevents any potential interception and unauthorized access to your data during the test.
