Shadrach Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I noticed hinterlandforums.com doesn't use https and since we do enter usernames and passwords I figured I'd check if there was an https port available. It was -- but it answers with an outdated Let's Encrypt cert (expired January 2, 2017) and issued to beetleforum.net. When going on I get redirected to the site: https://beetleforum.net/forums/ Seems to be an active forum. Now there's nothing wrong with having an (unusual) hobby and I'm sure beetles are very interesting, I'm just curious what the connection to Hinterland is? Your webmaster has a passion for beetles perhaps? Or a server misconfiguration/shared hosting issues? I specifically recommend the topic "Beetles, can they host mind-altering/other dangerous parasites?" - I learned something new today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicko Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I think it takes at least 24-48hrs to get https certs. anyway its not like we are submitting credit cards details or anything so really not needed. but either way good to have in case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadrach Posted January 16, 2019 Author Share Posted January 16, 2019 Happy to be of assistance! Oh and I guess since I obviously still log in to these forums after all this time, I guess I can't be all that paranoid about encryption, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarrowStone Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hahah, this brought back nostalgia because I remember reading this way back when. It made me laugh too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
