Asylum Feedback/Support

TLS 1 and TLS 2?

I allowed Firefox to do an update this morning. Later I couldn't connect to the Asylum, but assumed the Asylum was down. Tonight I took a closer look at the error screen (I never took a screen-shot). It said some thing about TLS 1 and TLS 2, and needing to enable it. I did, via the button shown, and was then able to access the Asylum again.

But the message also said something about later versions of Firefox will not support TLS 1 and TLS 2, or at least I think that's what it said. I honestly didn't read it that closely.

Is there something you'll be able to update in the Asylum, or will I have to use some other browser once TLS 1 and TLS 2 are no longer supported by Firefox?

It's quite annoying to have to click through the advanced options on every page load in order to view content.

  Yes, it's nearly complete. You should be able to turn off that message though as it should be a one time warning that you can turn off.
  
  If you saw my post on General, we've built a new server which was activated this week. Everything looks to be working as expected and appears to be stable. Therefore, the plan is to move the entire main web server over to the new one next week.
  
  Unfortunately, it's been a long difficult journey to upgrade to this new TLS 1.2/1.3 security package as it has to be built in the web server. Doing this caused us to also have to upgrade nearly everything else on the server and broke some of the code base. As with most upgrades, we had concerns about stability and what seemed to be other issues. In the end, we choose to start from the ground up with a new OS and clean new build which, of course, caused other issues and took a lot more time.
  
  In any case, unless the move has issues, all will be done next week.

    Thanks Rod.
Yup...we've been moving on that... - Rod M 17:37:37 03/11/20 (1)
The Trader and the search server were moved to an upgraded server several week ago. Moving to TLS 2 requires upgrading the web server which then requires upgrading all the libraries and other software. I'm in the process of bringing up another server with the updated code base, but it needs some planning and testing. Unfortunately, another issue with upgrading the firewalls to fend off the Russians and Chinese took me off the project temporarily. I hope to get the main site done.

I know Firefox gives you a Caution sign that it's not as secure as possible which isn't really needed at all as there's no commerce there. Our secure server was upgraded some time ago. Anyway, I should have it done in the next 4-6 weeks as the testing and migration gets complicated.

  And just think, some believe all you have to do all day is chase Tweaker456 or any of his other multiple-personalities around.
  
  Thanks Rod
