Not really. The main problem is people running online businesses/social media sites etc who think that $100 for a cert is a lot of money. Eg Facebook was just valued at $75bln. I think they can afford a few certs and a crypto accelerator on their load balancers - they don't do it because they're frickin retards. There is no other excuse. If you're going overseas and want secure access to stuff, get a VPS located at a place you trust and do it over RDP over SSL or VPN back into a trusted network and use that VPN connection as your default gateway. -- *David Connors* | da...@codify.com | www.codify.com Software Engineer Codify Pty Ltd Phone: +61 (7) 3210 6268 | Facsimile: +61 (7) 3210 6269 | Mobile: +61 417 189 363 V-Card: https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Address Info: https://www.codify.com/contact
