# Interfaces {#interfaces}
ClickHouse provides two network interfaces (both can be optionally wrapped in TLS for additional security):
- [HTTP](http.md), which is documented and easy to use directly.
- [Native TCP](tcp.md), which has less overhead.
In most cases it is recommended to use appropriate tool or library instead of interacting with those directly. Officially supported by Yandex are the following:
- [Command-line client](cli.md)
- [JDBC driver](jdbc.md)
- [ODBC driver](odbc.md)
- [C++ client library](cpp.md)
There are also a wide range of third-party libraries for working with ClickHouse:
- [Client libraries](third-party/client_libraries.md)
- [Integrations](third-party/integrations.md)
- [Visual interfaces](third-party/gui.md)
