Poal.co should consider using an alternative.

Let's Encrypt is cotrolled by this degenerate.

In January 2021, Let's Encrypt will cease support for a cipher used by millions of devices (possibly to force users into purchasing new devices designed to fail even faster).

Honestly, Let's Encrypt can . Now their power will also conspire against consumers.

One day, all perpetuators of planned obsolescence will hopefully get their rightful punishment for making our lives needlessly more difficult.

Are you aware of an alternative that is reasonably priced and isn't google, or godaddy. or amazon, or microsoft, and on and on.

Just logged in to say that I heard about this service a week or two ago and thought I would share. They sound like a real alternative to Let'sEncrypt.

Not so far. There is CloudFlare, but I think that is quite expensive.

But at the moment, Let'sEncrypt could disable access to Poal.co if they wanted.

That is not really how SSL certs work. They could not disable access to poal cloudflare and SSL are very different things. They have no access to DNS or poal's servers. They just provide us with a SSL cert the worst they could do is invalidate those certificates and loading the site would hit you with a SSL warning but it would still load just fine.

Cloudflare you must provide access to your DNS records that they can use to disable access to sites. Its why I never understood why people use cloudflare, or any other service that takes control of your DNS or gives access to your servers.

I have occasionally experienced a browser refusing to load a site (e.g. VidLii.com) entirely due to certificate error, sometimes with and sometimes without option to force loading the site.

Not because of a TLS version deprecation, but something else.
