Please enable HTTPS encryption on the forums

Hi, I was wondering if the site admins could re-enable SSL encryption for TPCR.

This is a pretty standard feature on almost all modern forum platforms, and I feel a tech-oriented site like this one deserves at least this minimum level of security.

Currently, there is privacy risk for unencrypted passwords and personal info in private messages, that users should at least be warned about, if not secured by SSL.

Thanks.

 

Greed!

It's not as if it costs anything or is technically insurmountable these days. [URL]https://letsencrypt.org/[/url]

 

Agreed. Plus if they want to kill two birds with one stone, wildcard encryption is now freely available via Let’s Encrypt as well. I use a single wildcard encryption certificate for a domain and about four subdomains on a Virtualmin/Webmin managed VPS and it works flawlessly for auto renewal.

 

This is a request I have in but it has not been addressed. When you see HTTPS in the address bar, it's been addressed. (No ETA, sorry.)

I’m thrilled that the forum has been kept online (thanks TPCR gods!), but I do hope that secure http is coming in the near future. Without it, our activity on these forums is open to being monitored by whoever cares to look. Not just that we’re visiting the site, but the exact post we just made, since the post number is in the unencrypted page address. Not ideal! Is there an ETA for when an ETA might be announced?
