https:// for forum?
Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2017 3:36 pm
Hello,
Just joined the forum today. Have enjoyed visiting whatismyipaddress.com for years now.
A concern: Using the forum is via regular old http://, not https://. Therefore any passwords to this forum could, theoretically, be compromised by some third party on the Internet wires between my home computer and your server, because as I am sure you know, http:// gets sent cleartext on the wire, not encrypted.
Any plans to institute SSL/TLS on forums.whatismyipaddress.com?
