Yes, use https. |

I think I have to give up only using TLS, but use SSL instead. Most of |
| 22 |
my visitors to my site are using Internet Explorer, but I just tried and |
| 23 |
found (by surprise) Internet Explorer 6 by default does not allow TLS |
| 24 |
connection. The users must go to Internet Options -> Advanced -> Enable |
| 25 |
TLS 1.0 connection. I know well my visitors are too stupid to do this, |
| 26 |
and in Internet Cafe people have no access to Internet Options. |

|

But why? Why IE6 choose not to use TLS by default? Are they really |
| 29 |
stupid or something? |
