Default Forum Staff: Switch to Let's Encrypt?

Hey Forum Staff,

Looks like your SSL certificate expired this morning! Before you go and buy a new one, you may want to see if you can use a free alternative: Let's Encrypt.

https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/

Depending on how you're hosting the site / forum, it maybe be incredibly easy to get going.

Best of luck!

Some hosting providers setup automatic SSL renewals in cPanel as well

I just think it's funny that most websites would be bleeding away the vast majority of users from a cert issue like this ... but everyone on P99 just blindly trusts that the site didn't get hacked and cheerfully clicks through all their browser warnings to continue their daily posting (including posts about how to fix things).

Gotta <3 this community.

Unless your session happens to expire during this and you happen to use the same username/password to log back in here as you use for your email/bank/whatever.

But no Internet user would ever use the same password on this site and a significant site ... right ...? Especially not the kind that might ignore a cert warning without fully understanding it ... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Unless someone received the private key yesterday, you're about as secure as you were yesterday. This site is encrypting the same way it was 24 hours ago before the certificate expired. The only real difference is that your browser will warn you about it.

Some of us are smart enough to look up if their cert expired [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

N1g3r1@nZ can't even keep the lights on.

Time to cash out and take the forums / game offline, buy a new car and visit Costa Rica.
