For security reasons is there a way to make every website and webpage in it load with an https:// every time?

Question

I keep getting my facebook profile hacked and every time I type in https://facebook.com it loads it with a picture of a lock and keeps that on there, but if I venture to any other page, the https:// disappears and I wind up having no security on that page.... generally I want every page to load with it regardless of where it is on the internet. Does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

No. There actually has to be an HTTPS webpage out there for HTTPS to work. HTTP and HTTPS sites are totally separate. You can't change every webpage on every website to suit your needs.



But your Facebook profile is not being hacked because you go to other, non-HTTPS websites. It's being hacked when you log into Facebook, probably by a keylogger on your machine itself. No hacker can crawl into your non-HTTPS connection and hack your Facebook connection from there.



Sorry.

Firefox and a Add-on called HTTPS: Everywhere, get it here:



https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere





What it does is requests a https connection at every web site, if the site provides it then you get https, if not it redirects to insecure http.



A problem many websites who want to implement https all the time have is material like ads and stuff are pulled off insecure sites, so if the web page can't be totally https, so it's dropped to http.



The web site has to provide https too. It costs a tiny bit more on their end to encrypt pages, but if more people are demanding https, they will implement it on a wider scale, which is what they should be doing already but can't because the trend is everything to be insecure, except in certain situations.



So get on board and tell everyone to use https everywhere, the more people use it, the more it shows up in server logs and the more sites will encrypt everything they can so content and information is secure between the user and the website.



As it is now, anyone can see everything your doing just by being on the network.



With a secure connection, only those with the keys can get to see your traffic for law enforcement, etc purposes.

Like said before, the "https" means that your connection to a webserver is encrypted using SSL/TLS, in order to protect any data that is sent and received from that server.



Below is a link to a Wikipedia article about "https", which you may want to check out.

FaceBook actually has a security setting that they recently put in place, which allows users to enable a secure connection when they're accessing the FaceBook website, which may be why the lock icon disappears when you navigate to a different website.



I'm not sure if it's possible or even necessary to encrypt the connections to other websites' servers, but if you'd like to encrypt a connection, you could simply try entering "https" before a URL and see if that works. Alternatively, you could always check a website or service's security settings to see if you are able to do this.



Also, perhaps you should try using Mozilla FireFox, which is a free browser that is safer than Internet Explorer and can also be customized with a variety of free add-ons and themes. If you'd like to try using Mozilla FireFox, you can download it from the link below.

Good luck and I hope I helped you!

Answer 4

No, the https means that it is a secured connection. The server has to support that type of connection.

Answer 5

It relies upon on plenty quite. the value of your internet connection, how previous your computer lap top is, what type of shape that is in, the form you're looking after it, in case you replace it while it asks to as much as date, in case you sparkling out viruses oftentimes, in case you delete unused data and courses out of yourchronic. Doing those issues will advance the value of your laptop fairly. I as quickly as wiped sparkling out a acquaintances computer, that grew to become into being controlled by using 440 viruses. It grew to become into all because of the fact he ignored it and did no longer save up with the updates. that is sparkling now however the viruses broken plenty. i hit upon viewing youtube video clips on his computer very complicated. Very undesirable. It pauses and performs repeatedly. in some situations no longer playing in any respect.
