Kong / Istio Service Mesh How to enable https?

I am using Kong as an API Gateway and Istio as a service mesh. I can't seem to find any documentation to enable https on my user facing microservice? What is the recommended approach to enable https with Kong? I have also enabled mtls on Istio but that is only inside of the cluster.

I would love to enable https on my user facing Microservice so that a user just has to go to https://myawesome-service.org. Please advise.

You can look at this similar problem. There you will find an example configuration that needed to be tweaked. For your situation very useful could be Peer Authentication:

PeerAuthentication defines how traffic will be tunneled (or not) to the sidecar.

You could find there completely guide how to set it up properly.
