Our Web Portal is Encrypted Now!

This week has been consumed with upgrading our servers to use SSL.  SSL is required to keep your usernames and passwords secure from hackers in transit between your computer and our servers.

We are using the new service "Let's Encrypt!" which offers free SSL certificates for any website. 

 The Let's Encrypt service has a Linux program that is installed as a service and updates the SSL certificate every 90 days automatically in the background.  I am quite happy that this service exists now, and thank all of the people involved in making Let's Encrypt a functional reality.

á na márië,
gumshoe, out.
