EZTV adds SSL encryption - what's in it for me?

why is it necessary to go through the lengthy instructions you give for firefox,
when i have the option of just clicking "accept certificate permanently" when i
visit the secure version of the site?

good work novaking, but ff3 doesn't come with cacert

i dont trust cacert myself so i think it's better just to make an exception for
eztv.it

by the way if you're using a different css template not everything can be
accessed via https, which means it shows up as being partially encrypted

ok, i followed the instructions on the how-to page, but for some reason the lil
red "ssl off" thingy is still red, and off.

what am i doing wrong?

are you going to https://eztv.it/ ?

yep. i even tried entering that manually, it stays saying it's off. ☹️

what actually is the point of having ssl on eztv? i don't see how it can stop
any tracking of people as all the torrents go to other unencrypted sites anyway,
if your pre-empting a scenario whereby authorities might seize your server and
look at the logs, then ssl is meaningless. just remove logging. much safer. i
presume this is a knee-jerk reaction to the google ruling?

soz doodz, i love the site, but this ssl malarchy is pointless.

/jimbo

it is optional you know. and we don't log any ways. it's just an extra feature
if anyone is willing to use it. but of course, you must get on your high horse
and rant.

enjoy 🙂

"eztv just got more secure, adding a secure layer (https) making it more
difficult for 3rd parties to monitor your activities." is what the noticr on the
site says, hence the reason for my original post, as it makes no difference
whatsoever about monitoring our activities as they are outside your control. i
don't think my post was a rant, or from a high horse position, as you put it. i
guess i just hit a nerve. sorry you somehow got offended by my post.

peace

just read through them links.

its scary.. that pirate bay guy talked about encrypting our pc and hdd. how do i
go on to do that.. ?

hope some genius out there will come up with a way to protect our privacy from
dpi..


edit: hum i guess i did not push the quote button hehe,, was to quote novakings
links to torrentfreak..

the certificates are messed up. for example. if you put w-w-w in front of the
eztv it you get an error. if you us .nl, you also get one. the webmaster needs
to make some changes to correct those errors, then people will not have those
errors.

need to force all to w-w-w and h-t-t-p-s and them all will work. i have to do
it with shopping carts all the time for the s s l certificates.

one should not need to keep getting exceptions, if is setup that way.


using server_port, you can check the current port is not 443 (the standard h t t
p s port), and thus to force h-t-t-p-s when entering the /dir/ directory, use:

# /dir/.htaccess
rewriteengine on
rewritecond %{server_port}!443
rewriterule ^(.*)$ h-t-t-p-s ://w-w-w. domain .com/ dir/$1 [r,l]

and because h-t-t-p-s is slower than h-t-t-p, take the users out of h-t-t-p-s
mode when
they leave the /dir/ directory by:

# /.htaccess
rewriteengine on
rewritecond %{server_port} 443
rewriterule ^(.*)$ h-t-t-p-s ://w-w-w. domain. com/ $1 [r,l]



rewriteengine on
rewritecond %{h-t-t-p_host} !^domain .com$
rewriterule ^/(.*) h-t-t-p ://w-w-w. domain. com/ $1 [l,r]

replace \'domain . com\' the actual domain name and get rid of the dashes.

btw - ssl certificates are $20-$30 a year, that must be why they are using the
free one. they can go up to $350 - for the same thing!
