https web servers

[Geffers]

If any readers run an ssl web site accessible via https then worth having a look at Let's Encrypt.

This is a free Certificate Authority (used by Ubuntu and many others) and allows visitors to visit without that message warning of an insecure site.

Installation is quite easy using a script running certbot, I am no expert but have used it on my own home site along with a cloud server.

Let's Encrypt

Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority brought to you by the nonprofit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).

Backed by all the big names like Microsoft, AWS, Oracle and more, Let's Encrypt is great and indeed this site uses it. It's a true set it and forget it solution.
