ANNOUNCEMENT: We have installed a new SHA-256 secure server certificate on our freerepublic.com domain and we have a NEW donate link: https://freerepublic.com/donate/
FR is now more secure than ever! Google, Firefox, et al, were flagging our old SHA-1 secure server as "not secure" even though our certificate was paid-up, still valid, still in force and our secure server was still encrypting our donation transactions as securely as always to the SHA-1 standard. You should see a green "Secure" padlock now when you click on our new donate link and that signifies that your transaction will be encrypted by the newly installed SHA-256 routine. We have a little more work to complete for redirects, etc, but when it's done, everything on https://freerepublic.com will be served as secure documents.
Donate securely online: Click here to enter your pledge by Credit Card, PayPal or Check! (make it a monthly if you can)
The old SHA-1 secure.freerepublic.com link and server will be phased out and retired. When John finishes with the redirects, the old posts containing the old link will automatically be redirected to the new link.
Thank you very much for your loyal support and for bearing with us!
Mailing address for checks or money orders: Free Republic, LLC - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794
Do we need to redo, change or update our current and past donation data?
great! Now you should just let Laz and I reprogram the site to make you as rich as that stupid nerdy facebook kid.
No, your donation data is fine. Thank you very much.
I was wondering the same thing.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you very much, SkyDancer!!
Thank you, Jim!
You’re the best, Jim!
Thanks for the update, boss!
I liked the PayPal button, that was on the pages.
Is that going to come back?
Nice. Thanks.
Hope you didn’t buy it from Hillary!..................
But still the old rubber band and hamster powered servers?
You’re welcome. I enjoy FreeRepublic more than my old deleted Facebook account. I will have to change that picture though, it’s generic.
That will require a bit more time.
Great — ‘cause I’m sure that every rabid leftist programmer on the planet would crawl over hot coals to hack you.
Yep that little “green lock” icon looks just fine, and the cert info behind it is all good. Well done, Jim and John!
When logging in with Firefox, it’s still showing insecure? Is just the Donation link secure or should Logging In be secure as well?
Jim, thank you for all that you do for FR!!
Don’t know about that. Thanks.
