  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

I received a notice when I tried to log on to REDuser that it was not safe to do so. I logged in anyway so I could post this (Catch 22). Has anyone else had this happen?
 
Never mind... I dug deeper and learned it was a new firefox download that created the warning. Just a helicopter browser being over protective.
 
Your browser is not being overprotective. Firefox and Chrome are starting to display these warnings with their upcoming versions.

The reason you're seeing it is that reduser.net is not served via the HTTPS protocol. So it is really easy for an attacker to just grab your username and password via a so called Man-in-the-middle attack. This is because all data is sent in plain text without any encryption.
