Not Secure

[froudy]

Been meaning to mention this for a while now, but kept on forgetting

When logged on here it says the site is "NOT SECURE"...Can anything be done to make the site secure?

Been told by my Son who is an IT specialist that it needs SSL Encryption Certificate which will then make it HTTPS.

Yeah Froudy, i always get that message.

[Notty]

I get the same - also on bigirlsrus.com

I don't get that message on my computer, maybe it because I don't look at specialist sites, like Notty

A question for @VladTepes for sure - makes sense to me. @Proteous  - thoughts?

I've started getting it as well,

Had it for a long time.

This explains the situation regarding V-Bulletin Forums...I'm not sure how close V-Bulletin is to our forum host..

Yep well aware of it.

One reason for that message is that thissite (like many) has mixed content - secure and non-secure (eg things people link from elsewhere)

It seem scary but is actually no different to what the internet has had for years - it just never used to say 'not secure'.


Having said that when we ultimately upgrade to the new version of the forum software, (likely late this year) the SSL implementation and security are both MUCH better. 


Hope this helps explain the situation.

Thanks @VladTepes 

[VladTepes]

Having said that I am looking into a way to accomplish this effectively, before that upgrade.

HTTPS homepage & auto-redirect?

It works on the phpBB forum I run.

[VladTepes]

Hmm I thought I'd fixed this. Evidently not.

Any update? I use free SSL certs from ZeroSSL on my site, they offer a free 'robot' to update them too if we're on Linux hosting here.

[VladTepes]

Ah thanks for the reminder I'd completely forgotten. I'm at work at the moment, will attend to later.
The host we use also has free SSL certs I just need to get it implemented. Ta
