    @pitaj is correct, there is no point in adding additional client-side encryption, because of the simple fact that you cannot trust what happens client-side.

    So the only thing you can do is encrypt the payload over-the-wire, which is exactly what https is doing.

    @Mickola Feel free to send a pull request to https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-emailer-sendgrid, if fromname isn't supported in the sengrid nodejs api that should be removed as well.

    @jimmyc2018 said in Free HTTPS for NodeBB:

    I just setup "Let's Encrypt" yesterday but today noticed "Secure" doesn't always show up beside my URL as I'm browsing back and forth through my NodeBB forum.

    There's even one forum Topic/Page that always shows up without the "Secure" sign. Even if I repeatedly refresh the page and clear my browser out and come back to it.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    On top of changing the URL to HTTPS, you should setup forwarding so people always hit your https page.

    With CloudFlare I have these setup:
    0_1518196963653_70ff6121-ce58-4336-b215-43bb9d20aa12-image.png

    For good measure, I have the following in my nginx config too:

    server { listen 80; server_name gamingexodus.com www.gamingexodus.com; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; }

    Though looking at my nginx block now, I probably need to say return 301 https://gamingexodus.com$request_uri; to ensure www is not used.

    ?

    @Aureney be sure to add the port to the URL unless you use a proxy like NGINX or run NodeBB on port 80.

    Hi @rbeer thanks for your reply, I tried the command you provided, but its already installed...

    However, what seem to help was making some changes to git due to a timeout issue or proxy issue.

    [url "https://github.com/"]
    insteadOf = [email protected]:
    [url "https://"]
    insteadOf = git://

    Once I done this, it installed properly and now runs.

    Thanks.
