    http and https version

    Hello,

    I'm trying to make my forum working with https also.
    it's now only http and i'm trying to add https for security when i'm traveling.

    Is this possible? do i need to add other rewrite rules?

    If i have a http and https version, is it duplicate content?
    has vbseo an option to solve this duplicate content?

    Thanks!

    In general, only login areas or payment processing should use https.
    a page should be available http or https only, not both. It is duplicate content and there is no feature to solve it as it is simply incorrect design that should never be.

    Frankly, if you're looking for security while traveling, i think you're focusing on the wrong end... focus on your laptop.
    If you want to use https, (we use it here for pm's and all customer areas), you should focus on using it just on specific pages that require sensitive data to be posted.

    Ok,Thanks Brian.
    I already have my Ironkey with secure sessions.

    That should normally be secure enough.
