Always force HTTPS on nsaneforums

Recommended Posts

I noticed that even though I put HTTPS in my URL-bar, whenever I click a link nsaneforums would force HTTP_ again.

Now everyone should only post when HTTPS is on for security reasons, else "they" know your username and what you posted.

 

There are many browser addons that force HTTPS to be on, however the EFF approved HTTPS Everywhere is the most popular one. Sadly by default it doesn't recognize nsaneforums, so here is how to add a new rule:

When you do this you always will use HTTPS on nsaneforums, protect your username and make your ISP / government not be able to read what you post!

What do you mean? It is real HTTPS aka Transport Layer Security v1.3, which is the strongest encryption on the world wide web right now.

What I am saying is my knowledge is low. Help me understand how Nsaneforums got https without the admins using a ssl certificate? 

I thought a website can have https only when they have a ssl certificate.

This certificate is OK.

PS! But here is one small problem with the fact that this license is incorrectly installed.

One, yes, we have HTTPS on the forums which is handled not by us but through somewhere else and two, it's specifically not enforced as it breaks the forums. I'm expecting that the future version of the IPB might not have this problem with HTTPS and we will actually be able to enforce it. Till then, we suggest members to not use it.

Oh I should have told this! Thanks for your comment. You must first load the site manually into https before you can add new rules.

Yeah there can be rarely problems with maybe liking posts, or code tags must be inserted manually. I dunno.

I try in Vivaldi and Firefox but the option to add a rule is not given on nsaneforums

Your efforts to do so is completely unnecessarily, it does not work anyway.

You can put the head under the sand, like the ostrich does, and then may think that nobody will see him, but of course, this doesn't help to hide him fully
https is only sign what shows that protection is used, nothing else. And if the protection/encryption is correctly installed, it turns absolutely always http to https automatically.

Why should you see https if it is not there, there is no encryption and you, like user, will not be able to do anything other, than to choose whether to continue or not to continue using.

And even if it is there, it will not be protect anyone, and not by any way - it is once again one method of making money for somebody.

On the Internet can not anyone protect you, except something, what is between your two ears. Of course, if you have two ears and between of them is something.

Loading more content on the Unread Content page for example does not work in HTTPS.

 

Also, I personally found the above famous addon to be using a lot of memory, I find this to better I think.

Why not just use VPN to force HTTPS on nsane forums? VPN is already in use so no need for addon or extensions.

A VPN only encrypts between the target PC and the VPN provider. If I access a website with HTTP through a VPN they may not see my IP, but they see what I am doing. Also most VPN providers will hand out data, no matter what they tell their customers.

Wrong, if https is used the data is concealed. No government sees which topic I am reading right now, no government sees which name I post under, no government knows what I download. They only see encrypted TLS1.x packages and two IPs. However what the person does on the site is hidden. Sorry but I have to say that you should please read a book about cryptography and what it does.

 

I'm completely shocked how anyone can claim HTTPS is useless and fail to understand the mathematics behind it. Possibly the worst FUD I've seen this month.

If it would added (as you said), it also would work.
But as you can see, it has not yet been added, at least not right, as it should be. So it cannot work. It's only fraud here.

The forums are now completely HTTPS enabled. All the other notifications you guys are seeing is not related to the forums but due to members posting unencrypted image links here.
