HTTPS for RPGCodex

[Haba]

Can you fix https://www.rpgcodex.net/ please?

This is relevant for my paranoia.

 

[DwarvenFood]

This is actually a good idea. Set up a scheme to donate to bring prosperland back, and buy the SSL cert.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

I'm not sure it would be viable since SSL is a lot more CPU intensive, that's why forums don't use SSL, since it would kill servers. MySQL forum requests are already hard enough on servers as it stand. Then again it's probably few people who would use it.

 

[Taluntain]

What he/she above said. If you need to hide from the darkness of Codexia, just use a proxy like the other 90% of the Codex.

Oh and DON'T send your credit card details to trannies via PM. See, we're worried about the security of our patrons here at RPG Codex too.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

Note to Self: Implement SSL and break Codex.

 

[pakoito]

The site still runs over HTTP, even when users are logged in. If you want a free certificate, this San Francisco company backed by most big names (Mozilla, Google, Facebook, EFF...) has been giving them since last year https://letsencrypt.org/

 

[DarkUnderlord]

This is a Taluntain thing.

 

[Taluntain]

Yea, we're still doing it like 99% of the sites out there. There's a lot of other things that we're old-school about too.

 

[taxalot]

Yes, I don't want my ISP to know that I'm posting there.

 

[Excidium II]

We say nigger a lot here.

I would actually like if you did this. I feel bad reading the cringey shit you all post over my work VPN.
Would love if that was encrypted especially if I am logged in.

Https would be pretty cool, wouldn't need to use VPN to get through blocklists.

The solution is to limit your codex experience to your phone connection, because while you can be sure it's being eavesdropped there, the cringey shit is drowned out by the real cringey shit.

In that case you'd better not post anything you might regret later.

Soon is the day when all major browsers will display red warning signs over any website that doesn't use HTTPS. Better upgrade sooner than later.

Taluntain is there any objective reason to not switching to HTTPS ?

Obviously, the reason is that it would involve work. And this is a shitty RPG site possessing absolutely nothing personal or sensitive. Unless you were somehow stupid enough to post something personal or sensitive on the Internet, in which case HTTPS cannot save you if you dox yourself.
