Https.

Recommended Posts

I noticed a little back that neither the forum or the shop use https even though they have valid certs(remaindered me this pc didn't have https everywhere running), is there a reason for this? after installing https everywhere the only issue i have noticed is some button/links don't work unless i right click and open them in new tab.

Https is somewhat important in todays age, though i inst a magic bullet and can cause a false sense of security it does have some important protections that not only limit the snooping and modification of data but also and more importantly will for most cases prevent session hijacking, if a mod was to login without https on a public network it wouldn't be that difficult for an attacker to jack their login session, this is i think more of an issue for this site not just because of the subjects discussed here but because the owner of this site is a publicly known figure that could be targeted.
