@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:

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.
