boombastik Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I think after 8 years it is good to go to with HTTPS in forum site. I know that cisko is worldwide leader in networking, i understand that this is a secondary project for them but i know that Cisco products deliver network security, so i think a user it is better to see a HTTPS site under this branding. This is my personal opinion and i tell this with respect in cisko hardware products that have more quality from other brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wookiee Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Cisco did take over this project and we are working on improving everything (the software, the forums etc). Glad you like it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie58 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 This subject has been brought up before. I would also like to see this forum eventually use either Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocols. That would provide added security when a user logs in to the forum. My Firefox browser warns me every time, when I log in, that this site is not secure.

ritchie58 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 That is some "great news" for the forum! Something I've been hoping would happen for a while. Plus it's nice not to see the FF warnings. I do have some new concerns however. I had to allow a new script which is coming from content.invisioncic.com to be able to post new content. Is this brand new script associated with the https protocol? I am assuming & hope so since I created a permanent trusted/allow rule for it. Also, why is this site now using the googletagmanager.com script? "Can't say I like that very much!!!" This script is blocked since I personally don't like Google spying on my internet activity! "In fact, by default, NoScript has this script as an automatically untrusted, blocked object!" I know this script can be used for site analytic tags and other legit web site applications but it can also be used for gathering user tracking info (which can be shared between the original site & the Google analytic team, perfectly legal potential spyware in my opinion) which has always made me highly suspicious of it's intended use as it does with the NoScript crew as well. So I'm not alone there. If it's not needed with the new https protocol or the forum in general I would vote to get rid of the googletagmanager script all together. I'm sure, in the future, I won't be the only one that questions why this script is even being used on this site in the first place if it's not removed.

We track number of downloads, it's been in place since before I started with google analytics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritchie58 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 If that's the case then I have more questions than answers. Why did NoScript not advise me of the presence of tagmanager before the https change? That's strange. Either way, that non-essential script (in my opinion) will remain blocked on this computer.
