New to Squidge - https Everywhere!

New to Squidge.org - SSL Everywhere!

Over the next few days, you may have your web browsing session interrupted slightly. I am installing SSL certificates for every domain that is hosted on Squidge.org, which is quite a few in number. Now anytime you go to a website hosted on Squidge.org without the secure "https://" prefix, your browser should be redirected to the secure session instead.

Doing this means that we have to move configuration files around, causing us to have to cycle the webserver twice per domain group. This is going to be a bit frustrating, and I'll apologize in advance. But we need to have https everywhere for everyone's web surfing safety!

Questions? Let me know!

As ever, thank you for all you do. I hope it all goes smoothly, and no hair-pulling or weeping results *g*

Thank you! I'm about 1/3 of the way through; this is taking a little while to do! :)

Many thanks for all the hard work.
Does that respond to the new commercial big brother ISP thing? You're using Verzon, aren't you? What kind of information do they have when someone accesses squidge?

In a way it does, yes. They may know you're going to the site, but not of what you are partaking. I need to see if I can make it even more secure now that republicans in Congress have decided that they should be able to sell your data. ::sigh::
