SSL Will be Free Starting Summer 2015
-
That is awesome news! The EFF rocks.
-
Yeah! And SSL setup is becoming painless soon!
Am sure most admins would be happy!

Awesome!
I recall asking why ML isn't on HTTPS - considering this, will this change in the near future?
-
This is amazing news.

This wasn't the reason. But this will be a factor.

-
Now that IS easy.
-
Sweet! Does that mean that people who want free encryption won't have to use self-signed certs or am I still wrong on that?

That is, indeed, what that means.

One stated reason besides cost was it was just more overhead. Which I personally feel is a completely BS response. Additional overhead for SSL should be minimal.
The cost was a valid consideration, but a minor one likely compared to the bandwidth and hosting costs, though if this is piggybacking something else that may negate that.They key problem being stated was that the platform did not support it which I never understood. The platform is running on nginx. Nginx supports SSL.

It wasn't running behind Nginx eight months ago. Nginx is a proxy, it is not hosting the site.

Is ML running behind nginx now? If so can we finally get SSL?
My D&D forum is running on NodeBB 0.9.X with a StartSSL certificate installed on the Nginx proxy in front of it. Additionally I have CloudFlare enabled.
-
Yes it is.

Are you doing the subdomain split?

https://obelisk.daerma.com is the forum (NodeBB). https://daerma.com is the domain (Wordpress). On two different CentOS7 servers, both behind yet another CentOS 7 server running an Nginx proxy. All running through CloudFlare first.
-
And no issues with with Websockets / socket.io?
-
Not that I am aware of. It all functions. NobeBB runs theirs on https with an Nginx proxy also.
