  • Enable SSL or https

    As security of user data is the most important for us, we start to support SSL on our service.

    So if previous you use http://www.freeinoutboard.com/ to access our site. It will redirect to https://www.freeinoutboard.com/

    Https is much more better than http

    Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is a communications protocol for secure communication over acomputer network, with especially wide deployment on the Internet. Technically, it is not a protocol in and of itself; rather, it is the result of simply layering the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) on top of the SSL/TLS protocol, thus adding the security capabilities of SSL/TLS to standard HTTP communications. The main motivation for HTTPS is to prevent wiretapping and man-in-the-middle attacks.

    As a user, you don’t have to do anything on your side. No matter which format of URL you entered, they are all re-direct to our ssl URL.
