Irreal Is Secure

A few of you have written to me complaining that Irreal’s SSL certificate had expired. That was news to me because I had never gotten an SSL certificate and as far as I knew, Irreal didn’t have one. It turned out, though, that there was an expired certificate assigned to Irreal. I’m guessing that my hosting provider just provided a provisional one for all their customers.

Regardless, I stopped being lazy long enough to get a proper certificate installed so you can now access Irreal securely. Or at least have your browser stop nattering at you. Irreal doesn’t sell anything so I’ve never considered getting an SSL certificate a priority but it is nice to know that I’m making life for the nosy parkers just a bit more difficult.

For the time being, you can access Irreal securely or insecurely but I may change that in the future to always use SSL. If that will cause any of you problems, let me know but these days most everyone is using a modern browser that supports SSL and there’s really no reason not to use it.
