== Latest Server News ==

Sorry it's been a bit quiet around here lately. I have been studying at college and am now studying Nursing at University. Unfortunately, the server has been on the back burner for a bit and has had to have been self sufficient for a while. Nevertheless, during this time, we have had some great achievements such as:

* TLS 1.3 support for our web pages. TLS 1.2 is still supported as TLS 1.3 is new but we do not support any lower than TLS 1.2.

* Letencrypt allow for wildcard certificates, which have allowed us more flexibility with the use of our certificates. We are also using ECDSA certificates using acme.sh to implement them.

* Strongswan is now immplimented with the new charon interface, which is much more flexible and modular than the old ipsec interface (this was a learning curve, but we got there!)

* Our domain has is now https://www.freddythechick.net. Due to the nature of our internet connection, we needed DDNS support and have had to move from Gandi to Google Domains. This address is secured for the next 2 years.

* We have moved over to openSUSE Tumbleweed again to implement all this great work but plan to move back to openSUSE Leap when all these things are implemented in the Leap release. We are hoping this will all be implemented by openSUSE Leap 16.

So once again, sorry for the quietness, it has all been happening behind the scenes and I will update you all when time allows. Thanks for your patience!

== Subdomain reshuffle ==

To take advantage of the features and ~~secuirty~~ of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy same-origin policy], we have changed the sites to their own subdomains now rather than a directory after the main domain. Don't worry, redirects have been configured so that your old links to the site will still work.
