help with ssl (secure)

[scoobydobedooo]

hey all hope everyne is good today

i need some help securing my VRS site,

i would like to put an ssl on my page to make it secure as i have had a few people on my case because they dont feel to go enterint details on an non secure website,

i have been told the way to do this is to take away the port number from the domain address but when i do this the radar site will not load.

ive seen a few sites out there that have done this with no port in the domain name but for the life of me i cant work out what im doing wrong,

could anymore point me in the right direction please

many thanx

The port number has nothing to do with SSL, the distinction is that SSL addresses have https:// at the start and non-SSL addresses start with http://. If you want to access VRS without specifying the port number then have VRS listen on the default HTTP port, which is port 80.

I intend to add SSL support to VRS but it's not there at the moment.

hey dude,

thank you very much for this info ive been getting info from a friend of mine that said if i take the port number out of the domain then it wil acpt an ssl so i will gve this a try and let you know

if it doesnt work then the plugin would be great

ADSB Exchange has https not sure how they have done it, Might pay to ask them.

I think you are meaning by changing the port to 443 this will enable SSL?

[scoobydobedooo]

na. i was told if i removed the port from the domain then i could get an ssl. if i put it on port 443 then then it would be the www.domain:443,

Hmm ok
I might ask ADSB Exchange how they did it.
It otherwise gives a mixed content error and will not work.

If you are meaning "Google font links are now explictly HTTPS" this means that google fonts can be loaded by https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans not http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans.

You need to add a proxy server like nginx in front of VRS to make it https-capable.
