CathInfo new SSL certificate

    • How times change -- apparently there's a 100% FREE SSL certificate option called "Let's Encrypt".
    It's literally a one-click affair on my current webserver software. So I'm going to go with it.
    The downside, it's only good for 3 months at a time. But then I just click the button again!

    But here's the thing -- you can only install SSL certs for 13 months at a go, now. It's a real pain to have to paste in all the certificates and what not. ONCE A YEAR.
    Talk about a pain.

    So unless this budget SSL causes any problems (which you would see as "This site is not trusted", "Warning!", etc.) I think I'm going to switch to the free option.

    This is how they control internet. Nothing is free.

    • I've always bought stuff here.  For the $6 a year or so you can get a basic SSL cert, it's probably not worth the hassle for you ...
