Exception might be if you are engaged in some sort of espionage or illegal activity making cloaking your identity and activity an imperative. hxtr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what "redtail" is, but I would be expecting my financial institution to be exercising significant white-hat security measures, not scummy lurk-about-and-go-undetected measures.

Hate em. I would suggest https://www.ssllabs.com/ for SSL/HTTPS related news. I would suggest https://scotthelme.co.uk/sslv3-goes-to-the-dogs-poodle-kills-off-protocol/ for instructions on protecting yourself against the attack. The issue only affects servers that cater to Windows XP users really as they are the only users that may still be using SSLv3. All modern browsers/operating systems use TLSv1.0 and greater. It is only a problem to a client if they are connecting to a server that allows SSLv3 and even then is a hard exploit. If you are concerned over a site that you use HTTPS with that actually passes secure information then you can use this site to check the certifcates: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ @@Ruggerxi and @@loaderXI - I think me patching for POODLE is the problem behind the images served via HTTPS not loading for you. hxtr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my thinking and I am only still thinking. They don't keep much of the clients info on their local LAN. Redtail is a contact management database and also were the financial planning is done. Not on a local database... but all on the Internet. I'm removing their HIPAA complaint router a sonicwall and replacing it with something much faster but it's not HIPAA compliant. To add the best security possible after locking down the system as much as possible is encrypting all their traffic on the net. The service is very fast. I don't notice a performance hit at all on my 14 day trial thus far. The router/rom supports this feature out of the box. It is not only to hide you but also to protect your. For under $10 dollars a month... what better option is out there? Is it going too far in security? I only want to make sure I am doing all I can to protect my customer's customers. If you have a better option.. I would love to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
