Not OP but I am using HTTPS Everywhere. The question is: WHY is HTTP still accessible when HTTPS is turned on?

Oh, and not to forget, the SSL certificate is from CloudFlare. Fucking Middleman. Is hiroshimoot such a jew to pay for a good cert? My fucking sides.

https is more expensive to provide. besides nothing is confidental information here anyway so why would they care?

I'm pretty sure that's a HTTPS Everywhere option...or were you talking about server side?

I wonder if they'd be better off with LetsEncrypt...or is it not suited to a site of this caliber?

Cloudflare is a CDN, the SSL certificate is provided by them because when you visit the site the content comes from cloudflare servers and not the 4chan one.

How would you use a caching solution like CF without them having the private key to your cert?

Because every once in a while the fbi is able to trick a pedo into posting his kiddie porn on /b/.

http makes it easy to track them.

Save /g/ as bookmark
Edit bookmark
add the s after http
??????
PROFIT!

or use https everywhere

No good reason. CloudFlare supports it just fine, h2 only works over TLS, and CloudFlare uses h2 as a backhaul if you support it. Performance is much better and it doesn't cost you any more.

Because imageboard pages have text, css, js, and - importantly - a lot of thumbnails, http/2 benefits them considerably.

hiroshimoot jumped ship a long time ago,
I think soros owns us or something.
