Depends. I think it's always a good idea to encrypt. Unless you want your documents stolen

Not unless you care about people possibly sniffing your traffic. You might not, but at the very least it's a good thing to know how to do.
Plus hey really, free HTTPS on your personal server, neat.

Why not? It's free and only has benefits.

faggot

Free cert, easily renewable by cron.
What else do you need ?

If you want to use HTTPS/2, you'll need SSL certs.
HTTPS/2 are faster than older HTTP(S).

Are you retarded?

Who cares. It's not like I'm hosting a terrorist forum or a CP exchange.

I've got it running on my vps.
I don't have it on my home servers since none of them are open to the Internet except for a tf2 replay server, and if I need to access my servers I just ssh tunnel or vpn in.

>>55306354 On a personal server its perfectly safe to use self signed cert. Otherwise get a proper one.

a proper cert is one given by an authority sanctioned by cisco and many other tech companies aka lets encrypt
