Hi,
I tried to https on
www.projectavalon.net because it may be the subtle difference. However it failed too.
Let me clear up a misunderstanding ....
Using an SSL certificate would NOT in any way conceal information on this forum. It would also NOT in any way protect members' identities
since everything can be tracked and routes can back engineered to locate a person. However I guess that us discussing our stuff
on a forum here would rather be tracked to inform THEM what kind of directions opposition is taking.
The usage of an SSL certificate however INDEED does protect the traffic to- and from the server from being tapped into and hence being abused
by malevolent individuals to disrupt the
flawless functioning of the forum.
That's also the reason why passwords should be changed AFTER installing an SSL certificate. But be sure that governments that
spend trillions of dollars on defense still can tap into the traffic.
I hope this clarifies the techy stuff around encryption ....
