Trust me, I’d rather turn off this server than mess with it.  Or disable 
webmail altogether.

 

4 years EOS, perpetual license but if it crashed I’m not at all sure I could 
reinstall it.  Mostly ex dialup customers who resist even a fairly rude 
suggestion they need to migrate to an actual email provider.  I’m also in 
discussions to sell my business, and the buyer would probably move these 
accounts to their mailserver, or else tell the freeloaders to move on.

 

I was more interested why Chrome suddenly acted like a site was unreachable 
without anything changing at the server end.  And yet Edge and Firefox 
connected as usual.  So I was thinking what changed in Chrome, and what else 
will it affect?

 

Digging into it, I was surprised how many related settings there were in 
Chrome.  Most of us would never go digging into all these advanced settings, 
yet a lot of them would clearly affect our browsing.  And an update could 
change the default settings.  And of course, if it happens to a customer, it’s 
the Internet provider’s fault.

I understand but if the web engine is running via the web server binary, you'd 
have to fix that binary.

 

If the pages are being served via IIS, spend 15 minutes and install the SSL 
cetificate.

 

See what is listening on :80 right now - netstat -aon|findstr :80

If the Windows version is recent, installing SSL certificates in IIS probably 
won't be too terrible. I'm sure someone has a script for Let's Encrypt that 
mostly automates the process for you. If it's virtual you can always take a 
snapshot before hand.
