Thanks, Im really excited about letsencrypt, as I understand it we can test
in around 1 month from now, so currently Im slightly in waiting mode.
I have the domain myfbx.com which I used to run with HTTP with my freedom
box using dyndns. But now the server I run is on HTTPS and most dyndns
services dont offer HTTPS at entry level.
I'm slightly confused about how pagekite works with HTTPS. On the site it
says:
"Trial period: *31 days* &
*2.5 GB"*
OK, so I probably wont use 2.5GB in a month. But Im trying to understand
why is there a limit there, and is there any way to avoid it? I dont mind
paying for a service, but just want to understand what im paying for...
