Re: Secure Web Site

Absolutely correct decision! After all, it is in everyone's own responsibility to protect his files and his system enough!


Well, using an http site I cannot protect my password from be snbooped from the network...


With certbot (https://certbot.eff.org/) it is free and relatively easy to setup a secure site with a valid certificate.


Right, but you have the choice to not login to this site. It is ALWAYS your decision what you present to the internet, not the one of a webmaster...

That is very philosophical Pascal ;) I guess this site is made available for users and the 'webmaster' likes to have visitors. If I do not login I cannot post. And users might stay away from Sweethome3D for this reason. Is that the objective of the site?

But I don't want to argue, I just wanted to point out that creating a secure site may not be as hard and expensive as you may think. Certbot certificates last only for a couple of months but there is an automatic procedure to regularly update the certificate so in principle it is setup once and never look back at it again...
