After watching a talk about encryption from Yan Zhu online (JSConf Budapest 2016 – Encrypt the Web For $0) I decided to try Let’s Encrypt again to enable HTTPS on a website. I used Let’s encrypt before in November 2015. At that time the Let’s Encrypt project was in private beta and required a lot of manual configuration to get things configured. But right now the tools to configure Let’s encrypt seem really really mature.
