[Solved] Https://heliohost.org/ = Your Connection Is Not Secure

I get error when connected to https://heliohost.org/

 

Your connection is not secure

 

The owner of heliohost.org has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.

 

This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

The SSL certificate is expired

The expired certificate was for testing purposes only. Heliohost.org and Helionet.org do not support SSL connections. Please connect using regular HTTP. Please clear your cache if it tries to redirect to a secure connection.

 

We've made the decision to not support HTTPS on our website and forum for the time being.

don't you fear that someone could catch the unencrypted communication to sites Heliohost.org and Helionet.org and stole password?

[wolstech]

Nope. Sniffing traffic for usernames and passwords is impractical as the effort needed to spy on a specific network or user to sniff the traffic needed to log into a user's account would exceed the effort needed to just gain access by hacking the user's website. Hacked accounts here at Heliohost are usually a result of a user not installing updates or the user unknowingly installing malware on their account, hidden in extensions and themes for various CMSes...

 

Another major reason for our decision is because AdSense pays significantly less on secure sites. The ads on our website, forum, and cPanel are our only source of revenue.

 

Also, if you're not aware, Stevie and Johnny actually do support HTTPS for cPanel (try https://stevie.heliohost.org:2083, warning is because it's self-signed) for those who are concerned, however your logon won't be counted for inactivity because browsers block insecure elements from loading on secured pages.
