Forum https, secure pages
« on: June 07, 2020, 09:20:00 am »

This question might have been answered before.
But why does bay12forum.com not have tls certificate to make the website secure to it allows https connections?
So this link does not work at the moment: https://www.bay12forums.com/smf/ (2020-06-07)

These days with https://letsencrypt.org/ and others it does not cost anything and any easy to setup.

This ways forum posts and login passwords are encrypted over the internet connection.

Maybe the "Sectigo Limited" cert from https://www.bay12games.com/ could be extended and also used here?

I think it's something to do with the SMF software the forum is running on.
