SSL problems + improvements




Posted by Eretek, 10-09-2014, 04:48 PM
Hi, Yesterday I purchased standart ssl from ssls.com for $8.95 (if purchased for 5 years $4.99 each year) by following tutorials I managed to install it on nginx and did the 301 redirect in varnish within 20 minutes. the downside of following tutorials is you don't know what you do. luckily everything worked great. my wordpress site is moved to ssl. When I wanted to check if everything worked as it should be I get some warnings from this ssl checker site. https://sslcheck.globalsign.com/en_U...#178.62.243.29 I do it for seo rankings, I am not selling anything online, do you think these warnings are actually not big deal for me?

I managed to strengthen some ssl issues just by following this great tutorial. https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Stron..._On_nginx.html there are still some warnings

The only concern I see is that you are not mitigating the Beast attack. I would fix that.

There will be no sensitive data transmitted. As I told, I did it only for SEO purposes. Do you think it is worth spending time on that?

Better security on the internet is always a good thing, but I would take care of it to get rid of the warning at least.
