<div dir="ltr">I've used letsencrypt for a while, on a few sites. Everything they do seems to be, for the most part, completely in line with their goal of making the entire web HTTPS. They focus a great deal on ease of setup, so that anyone and everyone can start using HTTPS. You download a program, run it, select which sites, and you're done. It auto-renews the certificates as they're about to expire, etc. Automatic integration with apache and (I think) nginx. I don't know how this measures up with other free certs, but of all the ones I've tried, it certainly was the easiest to set up. <div><br></div><div>Keep in mind, though, all my experience with it is anecdotal, and I know very little about who they actually are, aside from what they do. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 5, 2017 at 6:13 AM, Hartmut W Sager <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hwsager@marityme.net" target="_blank">hwsager@marityme.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Oops, I meant to add their main statement:<br> <br>Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit.
