New SHA-256 security certificate and donate link ^ | May 31, 2017 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

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!

FReepers are the absolute greatest!

Well, I don’t know. I’ve heard rich guys might have problems getting through the Gate.

[JohnnyP]

Thank You, Jim. PayPal $$ on their way to you.

[Jim Robinson]

Just the donate link for now. When John finishes the project, it will cover logins, updates, freepmail, posts, and, well, everything else. All of FR’s pages will be encrypted. We will no longer have a separate secure server.
