The title sounds a bit like geographical coordinates or travel directions, doesn't it?

But no, Sunday, 10 January 2016 was the first full day since MYGERMANSHEPHERD.ORG transfers all data to you, and receives all data from you, using SSL data encryption (Secure Socket Layer)!

So from today you may visit https://mygermanshepherd.org, instead of https://mygermanshepherd.org.

The small letter s at the front makes a huge difference, safety-wise.

The move from http to https was a lot of work, and it started out with worries because on 9 January 2016 initially the move took the site down.

Here's the "photo story":

First you may have seen something like this:

Then you may have seen this:

Then your browser may have shown something like this:

... or maybe this:

At this point our web admin got a LOT of work to iron out smaller and bigger problems.

But now the result is: MYGERMANSHEPHERD.ORG is safe!

The SSL data encryption fits very well to our new website design and functionality.

So how does MYGERMANSHEPHERD.ORG now compare with BIG AMAZON?

As you can see:

Certificate quality: the same
Protocol support quality: the same
Key exchange quality: the same
Cipher Strength: MYGERMANSHEPHERD.ORG better than BIG AMAZON!

Nice.
