Hi Chain! 🙂 I just noticed this post & because I’m not tech savvy at all, I wasn’t sure what it meant. So I Googled SSL Connection. This is how it was explained.
What does an SSL connection do?
SSL is standard technology for securing an internet connection by encrypting data sent between a website and a browser (or between two servers). It prevents hackers from seeing or stealing any information transferred, including personal or financial data.
Sooooo, if I’m understanding this correctly, Buzzen has got a great security system & can’t be hacked?! Well if so, this is fabulous news & I thank-you! :-*
*** BY the way, is this something new or has it been this way all along?
The Buzzen website (where you login, view profiles and stuff) has had SSL for a long time. The chat server has just been upgraded to include it. SSL (https in the address instead of http) is just a layer of security to keep data private. We are continually working on ways to make things more secure and protect users of Buzzen.
Great info on connecting to Buzzen with SSL! Using the ircwx.com domain for a secure connection is a smart move. Thanks for sharing the details on the addresses and ports. This will definitely help others stay safe while enjoying the chat! Happy chatting, everyone! slope game
