Agreed, an HTTPS Certificate would cost all of 25 dollars. These means basically all traffic is being sent in clear text, possibly even your passwords/cookies while you sit in starbucks ...

Simply add the s to the http and FR is secure. It runs on 80 plain text but also on 443 encrypted. I assume the 80 is for the folks getting on here from TRS 80’s and Sinclair 1000’s.

BFG.

The real problem is unencrypted DNS queries. Your ISP sells your DNS history. As long as you are on a VPN and it is a good VPN your DNS queries are also encrypted and bypasses your ISP and are not sold.

It is a real worry for me since most of my queries are to midgetporn.com

OMG, I just checked and internet rule 34. It exists.

Well that joke won’t be used again.
