[EN] This morning a security certificate for ipernity expired. To update it, we need support from an IT professional. However, due to the weekend and holiday situation, nobody is available. Fortunately, Gerrit Fischer gave us a tip on how to log in anyway. We benefit from the fact that ipernity is not (yet) completely encrypted, but only the login and payment page: You simply backdate the Windows system and then log in. Go with the mouse pointer to the system date in the lower right co…

This can save a further EUR 1,037 i…

[EN] Dear members and friends of ipernity! 1) Meanwhile, SSL encryption has been extended to all ipernity login pages. Your registration and log-in processes are completely secure now. 2) Like other websites with login, ipernity offers the option "Stay connected".
