HTTPS URL - lkjk - 14 September 18

Just an FYI for you Geeks (haha), you can get a free SSL certificate by routing the site's DNS through custom Cloudflare DNS nameservers. It'll give you the "Secure" icon in Chrome and give you an HTTPS URL.

Yes, that would be interesting indeed!

RE: HTTPS URL - krish - 14 September 18

Will try it tomorrow and will let you know

RE: HTTPS URL - lkjk - 14 September 18

Send me a PM if you need some help, I set it up for my own personal website not too long ago. The "Free Plan" only allows 1 webpage for the free SSL certificate, but you're also allowed 3 Page Rules to redirect anything http://*geeks.fyi/* to https://geeks.fyi/*. You might be able to get away with not making any Page Rules if you enable "Always Force HTTPS".

RE: HTTPS URL - krish - 15 September 18

When setting up SSL or Secure Hosting, you may need to wait some time for DNS changes to propagate. This can sometimes take up to several hours. Additionally you may need to wait up to 24 hours for CloudFlare to set up your SSL certificate. Until the setup is complete you may be unable to connect to your site over https, or you may get warnings about the SSL certificate being invalid.

Let us wait and See

It's usually 10-15 minutes, just confirm your email, log out and back in.

RE: HTTPS URL - lkjk - 15 September 18

The only thing not properly configured is the apex domain.

These URLs resolve properly:
http://geeks.fyi
http://www.geeks.fyi
https://www.geeks.fyi

This URL does not resolve:
https://geeks.fyi
