Chrome, the Snoopers' Charter, and You

[Vekseid]

Last Wednesday, the United Kingdom passed a bill making its surveillance operation for the past decade legal. The UK is also engaging in yet another round of 'war on Internet porn' - we'll see how far that goes.

In addition to this, Chrome is going to be displaying a warning for all non-SSL sites that support logins come 2017.

Between these factors, I will be moving the communities I host to SSL-only.

Note that this is going to be the same advanced setup used on Elliquiy.

This will prevent some older browsers and devices from accessing Blue Moon. There is a chance that I may be able to resolve some limited difficulties, however, I obviously will need to know before we switch over.

You can test how your browser handles our planned SSL setup simply by visiting

You don't need to join or anything. If going there works fine, awesome.

If not, please send me a PM and describe what errors you see in detail, or post them to this thread.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for doing this! It is of much greater importance than a lot of people realize. I do not want my ISP, or my flat mate who owns the router, or the government, or just the library who has free Wi-Fi, to know the details of my sexual orientation.

And an extra plus for doing it right - Elliquiy gets A+ on SSL labs, and I see you use HSTS as well. Sweet!
