Time to go grab a cert from startssl.com for free. No more excuses for not having an SSL site.

- spindritf 12y agoCloudFlare will probably supply their own certificates so you won't even need to do that.
- psykovsky 12y agoShouldn't we all be glad with it? HTTPS-MITM-as-a-service... and authorized... awesome!

- timdorr 12y agoEven better! One-click cert gen and installation would be magical! StartSSL is nice because you don't need create a csr. But Cloudflare could make it simpler still, since you've already got domain-level verification through them implicitly. And if you need a better trust chain for your certs, then you can provide your own. This just got even more exciting!
- iancarroll 12y agoStartSSL's <keygen> for SSL is good but it's not great - mainly, you have to give your computer access to the SSL key and your server, as opposed to only your server storing the key (and you providing StartSSL a CSR)
- spindritf 12y agoStartSSL is nice because you don't need create a csr. You should though.
- paukiatwee 12y agoI think CloudFlare "free SSL" is CloudFlare-issued instead of Custom Cert, which I think it is good enough. If their "free SSL" allow free plan customers to upload Custom Cert, that is even awesome.
