  • Encryption

    Hey Y'all..

    Everything running on the docsplace.org domain is encrypted running an HSTS policy including all subdomains. docaplace.org now has 5 sub-domains including this bbs. To disable http unencrypted hits to the server and redirect any web traffic to port 443 HSTS was toggled for all subdomains. I then removed port
    80 from the firewall, problem solved.

    Unfortunately that leaves the unencrypted bbs subdomain blocked off. In
    reality my DNS through CloudFlare forwards bbs requests to my cable modem so typing bbs.docsplace.org in a web browser will connect with the bbs. However any links on the encrypted docsplace.org domain will not work because HSTS is trying to load an encrypted page on the bbs that's not supported.

    This is no doubt antiquated technology but is still here! :)
