Xiaomi at its CES 2017 event in Las Vegas, apart from announcing a brand new White colour variant of the Mi MIX smartphone, also revealed the latest Mi TV 4 and Mi Router HD. Both the devices will be available later this year in China.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 770px;">
At the keynote, Hugo Barra, Global VP at Xiaomi, stressed that the Mi TV 4 is the company's thinnest TV to date. Barra added that the new Mi TV 4 is also the first TV in its lineup to incorporate the Dolby Atmos audio technology for cinema-grade experience. It sports frameless design, measures 4.9mm thin at its thinnest point, and is claimed to be 37 percent thinner than the Mi MIX and 30 percent thinner than the iPhone 7. The 4K TV comes in 49, 55, and 65-inch variants, and Xiaomi is stressing that the television is modular, allowing users to swap out motherboard and other internals when they want to upgrade.</div>

The new Mi TV 4 will come bundled with Mi TV Bar which integrates 10 speakers, 2 wireless rear satellite speakers, and a subwoofer. The company also introduced Mi Port, which is a single cable that will connect the Mi TV Bar to the display and will carry all signals to and from the display for a clearer look. Xiaomi hasn't announced pricing details for the Mi TV 4 though Barra promised it to be "well under $2,000 (roughly Rs. 1,35,000). It will be shipping in China later this year. Xiaomi also confirmed there will be another model without Dolby Atmos home theatre that will be priced under $1,500 (roughly Rs. 102,000).<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 770px;">

Apart from design, Xiaomi has added its AI (artificial intelligence) based recommendations UI called PatchWall to the Mi TV 4. Notably, the PatchWall is a UI layer on top of the Android OS and it is based on deep learning AI technology. The new technology will make content recommendations using large amount of meta data about movies and TV shows alongside cross-referencing user's own content history for a tailored experience.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 770px;">

It comes with four PCB array antennas and supports up to 2600Mbps transfer speeds. It is a 4x4 multi-user MIMO router with built-in surveillance-class hard drive of up to 8TB. The Mi Router HD automatically backs up all devices, and can also automatically sync the data with Dropbox.</div>

In order to improve your online privacy and security, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service is arguably the most effective measure that one can opt for. VPN is a network technology, which links the private network over internet using encryption methods. It is generally preferred by government agencies, corporates, educational institutions, and private citizens to facilitate easy access of remote users to secured private networks.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In comparison to private networks, VPN is not only economical and flexible, but it also allows VPN users to maintain their anonymity and protect themselves from being snooped. A VPN can be used to access region-restricted websites, shield your browsing activity from prying eyes on public Wi-Fi, and more. However, one should be aware that there is no such thing as a one-stop-shop when it comes to protecting your privacy and staying secure while using the internet. Therefore, VPNs should be considered as an important tool in your internet toolbox.</div>

TorGuard advises its clients to use OpenVPN connections only and for encryption use AES256 with 2048bit RSA for better security. It runs OpenVPN and will do so on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS.</div>

This service is based on proxy service where the user is able to hide their true IP address from the rest of the world. This is a service specially built for the BitTorrrent users to protect their anonymity. BTGuard was just a basic proxy service that user would need to configure to avail the BitTorrent service. However, now BTGuard is becoming a handy tool with its easy to install software to protect their anonymity. It also has an encryption tunnel software for users who require special security for their data. BTGuard stores username, password and e-mail addresses; however, the IP addresses are never stored.</div>

It hides true location of the user by encrypting and encapsulating the entire data, which passes through the VPN, thereby making it difficult for the snoopers or the third party to intercept or decode the internet traffic. Various features of BolehVPN can be listed such as it protects the user by masking the IP address. Further, the data is encrypted throughout i.e. to and fro when it passes the VPN server, it accelerates the P2P. It also hides the true location of user due to which user appears to hail from a different location. Lastly, it also helps users to bypass certain corporate firewalls. It is based on Open VPN and SSL VPN.</div>

7. HideIPVPN</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It is based on combination of PPTP, SSTP, L2TP, IPSec, OpenVPN and SmartDNS. It is compatible with a huge list of operating systems Windows, Mac, Linux, Routers etc. HideIPVPN offers a very high quality of anonymity to its users on the internet wherein user can access even the blocked websites, surf the web anonymously, hide the IP address and encrypt user’s data. It does not restrict access to any online sites or services. All data going out and coming in via VPN is encrypted, secured and it also hides IP address, which means one can safely access secure websites without anyone intercepting the connections.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The encrypted data is hidden from user’s ISP and network administrator too, which means only user and the destination will be able to see what is being sent. SmartDNS service helps the user to access more than 35 online media services from around the world hence it is ideal for anyone who has limited cable access to TV channels, by using HideIPVPN user can change their DNS name and hence get easy access to the blocked TV/media servers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #19232d; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
8. SlickVPN</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
An IP address acts as a digital signature which helps to detect the location of the user to any website or to the Internet Service Provider i.e. ISP. SlickVPN hides the true IP address of user by assigning them an anonymous one hence enabling user to hide their location from snoopers. If any user connects to SlickVPN, a connection will be created between user’s computer and our servers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
SlickVPN encrypts any data transmissions or online activity so that user’s presence is anonymous. In addition, the connection is also secured by SlickVPN so that the internet activity, usernames, passwords, emails, instant messages, downloads, uploads, etc. are shielded from third party.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
URL: <a href="https://www.slickvpn.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #487be4; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">Slick VPN</a></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #19232d; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
9. Unspyable</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This uses an Off-Shore VPN service wherein VPN encrypts the entire internet connection and creates an encrypted tunnel between the user’s computer and the server chosen by user from the preferred list of servers. Whenever user browses the internet, all the websites which user visited would see the address of the remote server and not the real IP address of the user. Due to the encrypted tunnel between user and server, user’s IP address is now anonymous. Hence, none of user’s information is available on the local network nor to the local ISP or to government censors and monitoring.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
For users who want a higher security Unspyable also offers the Multiple Hop VPN wherein just as in Off Shore VPN the data is made to pass through a multiple off shore hops / servers which is very difficult to crack. Major benefits of this VPN are: it provides secure and private offshore email logs which is not saved or monitored, correspondence is secured using hot spots, and anonymity of IP address.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
URL: <a href="http://unspyable.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #487be4; font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out; vertical-align: baseline;">Unspyable VPN</a></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #19232d; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
10. NordVPN</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This provides a great 256bit AES OpenVPN protection and there are PPTP and L2TP/IPSec connections available. As soon as user connects to the NordVPN, a tunnel is created between user and the server and all the data in this route is encrypted. It is also one of the only VPNs to allow Tor over VPN and has a double-hop encryption system which cannot be cracked. Tor over VPN is an advanced privacy solution provided by NordVPN.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The basic principle here: User first connects to NordVPN server, which then routes all traffic through a widely known Tor network. Here, the data is encrypted within NordVPN layer at the initial stage and later sent to the Tor network. The Tor is more safer for privacy as the encrypted data is made to route through a few Tor hops and finally reach its destination helping in maintaining the anonymity of user’s vital information and also DNS traffic is  routed through the Tor network user’s will be able to access ” .onion websites” or the hidden websites just using NordVPN.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The VPN services provided above are the best according to us. However, there could be others too that may be better than those given above. If you know of a better VPN service, then drop the name of the provider in the comments section below that can help other readers to stay secure and private.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #0e0b0b; font-family: Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="font-size: 16.94px;">Samsung has been reinventing itself in the computing world with an excellent </span><span style="font-size: 16.94px;">Ultrabook</span><span style="font-size: 16.94px;">, a bargain</span><span style="font-size: 16.94px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16.94px;">convertible</span><span style="font-size: 16.94px;">, superb</span><span style="font-size: 16.94px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16.94px;">Windows 10 tablet</span><span style="font-size: 16.94px;">, and now it’s next frontier is gaming.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
Enter the Notebook Odyssey 17, Samsung’s first gaming laptop and proof the company is very serious about delivering the experience and aesthetics gamers crave.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
For what is the company’s first gaming laptop, Samsung got a lot right with the design of the Odyssey 17. Its simple, smooth and all-black exterior is a nice minimalistic breath of fresh air in an ocean of gaudy, overwrought designs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
When folded up, the only noticeable feature is the Odyssey logo that lights up. What’s more, the logo is patterned beneath a transparent framing to liven things up even when the laptop is off or asleep.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
Open up the laptop and you’re treated to an full RGB keyboard, which is still only available on a few Razer, MSI and Aorus laptops so far. On top of just looking great, these are some of the biggest keycaps we’ve ever seen on a notebook keyboard while offering solidly tactile feedback.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
Additionally, the trackpad has a bit of flair of its own with an light up rhombus surrounding the pointing device. We feel it’s a bit superfluous, but we’re always open to something we’ve seen never on any gaming notebook before.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
The most alluring aspect of the Odyssey 17 is its gorgeous 17-inch matte screen. Although, Samsung is only offering a Full-HD (1,920 x 1,080), you’ll be too busy being mesmerized by its HDR like colors.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
Beyond looks, Samsung promises the Odyssey 17 be an high-performance engine featuring quad-core Intel Core i7 Kaby Lake processors. Graphics options have yet to be announced, but give the size of this laptop we can imagine a Nvidia GTX 1070 or higher is in the cards. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
Systems can also be configured with up to 64GB of DDR4 memory and up to a 512GB PCIe SSD + 1TB HDD,  Dual SSD plus an HDD and other triple storage drive arrangements. If users want to further upgrade their system, they can easily pop off the bottom cover, which is also heavily vented to act as intakes for Samsung’s unique HexaFlow Vent system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
Despite all the power packed into this machine, the Samsung claims the Odyssey 17 will only weigh 3.79kg. Comparatively, that’s much lighter than other 17-inch desktop replacement beasts like the Origin EON17-X and the MSI GT73VR Titan Pro, but not quite as light as the spectacularly thin Razer Blade Pro</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16.94px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: 16.94px;">Overall, the Odyssey 17 looks like a very promising platform from which Samsung pans to launch its gaming aspirations. The 17-inch laptop has made a great impression with us and gets many things right on its first go, and we can’t wait to see the full specs on this machine and test it in our full review.</span>.</div>

While the Taiwanese company touts the Asus ZenFone AR as the world's first smartphone with 8GB RAM, other variants of the AR+VR handset will also be launched, including a model with 6GB RAM. The ZenFone AR was previously confirmed by Qualcomm. The </span></span>Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom<span style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "open sans" , "helveticaneue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> has also been announced at the same event, and is being promoted as "built for photography."</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e433e; font-family: "open sans", helveticaneue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Asus ZenFone AR, like the other Tango device - the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro - is designed around machine vision with a camera and sensor setup that provides motion tracking, depth perception, and area learning. Unlike other ZenFone smartphones, the Asus ZenFone AR sports a fingerprint scanner at the front embedded in the home button. It sports a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED QHD (1440x2560 pixels) display which is likely to play major role in virtual reality. The company adds that the Asus ZenFone AR packs 79 percent screen-to-body ratio.</span></div>
<span style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "open sans" , "helveticaneue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Under the hood, Asus ZenFone AR packs the high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor that the company claims has been customised for Tango. With Qualcomm announcing the new </span></span>Snapdragon 835 SoC<span style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "open sans" , "helveticaneue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">, the Snapdragon 821 processor choice for Tango-enabled and Daydream-ready ZenFone AR smartphone looks dated. Asus at the event confirmed that the company will have exclusive Asus ZenUI VR 360 degree app support on PhotoCollage, Gallery, and ZenCircle apps.</span></span><br />

The Taiwanese company also confirmed that the Asus ZenFone AR features vapour cooling system to avoid overheating. Asus ZenFone AR's camera sports a 23-megapixel Sony IMX318 module with TriTech+ autofocus system, dual-PDAF, second-gen Laser Focus, and continuous-focus. The rear camera supports 4-axis OIS (optical image stabilisation) as well as 3-axis EIS (electronic image stabilisation) for video recording alongside support for 4K video recording. The company has opted for a 8-megapixel front-facing camera with an f/2.0 aperture and an 85-degree wide angle lens.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 770px;">
The Android 7.0 Nougat-based Asus ZenFone AR will be available in the Q2 2017, with the company to announce prices near to market launch. Asus is yet to reveal the entire specifications details for the ZenFone AR. Other specifications revealed include up to 256GB of inbuilt storage that's expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB) in a hybrid dual-SIM (Micro+Nano) configuration; a 3300mAh battery; USB 2.0 Type-C port, as well as Bluetooth v4.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11ac connectivity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 770px;">
Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom, on the other hand, is being touted as "thinnest and lightest" smartphone featuring a 5000mAh battery, which is also a highlight of the device. It is just 7.9mm thick, while weighing 170 grams. Much like previous ZenFone Zoom models, the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom will double up as a power bank and can charge other smartphones.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 770px;">

For specifications, the Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom features a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 cover on top. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. Just like with the Asus ZenFone AR, the company has not revealed complete details of SKUs - though it has mentioned a top-end 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage configuration.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; width: 770px;">
Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom sports a dual rear camera setup, with one 12-megapixel rear camera with Sony IMX362 sensor, and f/1.7 aperture, and the other 12-megapixel rear camera featuring a 2.3x optical zoom - allowing for a total 12x zoom. Like the ZenFone AR, it features a TriTech+ autofocus system, dual-PDAF, 4-axis OIS, and 3-axis EIS. At the front, the ZenFone 3 Zoom packs a 13-megapixel camera with a Sony IMX214 sensor, an f/2.0 aperture, and a screen flash feature.</div>

A few days ago we showed you how to add an SSL certificate – one that you can purchase – to your newly created Amazon AWS Instances. As I was researching SSL certificates, I came across an interesting initiative: Let’s Encrypt.  It’s an organization dedicated to serving up free SSL certfiicates so you can encrypt your site data.</div>

Other tutorials have you redirect the non-SSL traffic into the SSL traffic, but we actually need to keep the non-SSL and SSL traffic open with the same configuration, and use plugins to force SSL on the WordPress site.

Step 4: Post-Setup for WordPress</h3>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You may notice that the lock isn’t green (it may be greyed out). We still need to set WordPress to specifically use the HTTPS traffic over the non-HTTPS traffic. We can do that with two steps:</div>
<ol style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 20px 30px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Change the site_url and blog_url to <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">https://yourdomain.com. </strong>You can do this either in the WordPress Settings > General screen, or by editing your wp-config.php file and adding these variables:<pre style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">define('WP_HOME','https://yourdomain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://yourdomain.com');</pre>
</li>
<li style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Using the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-force-ssl/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">WordPress Force SSL</a> to redirect all other traffic (images, links, etc) from non-HTTPS to HTTPS.</li>
</ol>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

I wasn’t getting any site stats for a few days and had to dive in to figure out why. Turns out it was being rejected at the redirection point. Opening port 80, and forcing the redirection at the WordPress level, did the trick.</em></div>
<h3 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 300; line-height: initial; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Step 5: Auto-Renewals of SSL Certificates</h3>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Let’s Encrypt certificates expire after 90 days. Let’s set up a server-side cron job (a script that runs automatically) to make sure we don’t have to worry about it again.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Instead of the standalone script we ran earlier, we’re going to set up a webroot script to run automagically in the background. Let’s Encrypt will use a special folder in your web root (/.well-known) to place its files, so let’s make sure that the server can access anything in those folders:</div>
<pre style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">$ sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/<strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">yourdomain.com</strong></pre>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In the “server” block, add the following:</div>
<pre class="code-pre " style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">location ~ /.well-known {
     allow all;
}</pre>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Save and exit. This will open up that location’s files for letsencrypt, and drop in a hidden file that the scripts will use for validation. This way, we can keep our web server running – and not have to stop it to renew the certificates.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You may want to figure out what your web root folder is. If you only have one site, it’ll be at /sites/<strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; border: 0px; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">yourdomain.com</strong>/htdocs (if you’ve been following my tutorials – otherwise, it’ll be different for each user).</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Run this script, and make sure the variables are filled in with your information:</div>
<pre style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">$ cd /opt/letsencrypt

This goes through the prompts we filled in earlier, renews the certificate, and passes it through to the server (in the same locations you set up earlier).</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Now we can create a cron job to automate this process.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Instead of having this long string entered in each time, let’s set up a configuration file we can refer to if we have problems or questions. A sample file is already provided, so we can start there to save time:</div>
<pre style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">$ sudo cp /opt/letsencrypt/examples/cli.ini /usr/local/etc/le-renew-webroot.ini</pre>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Edit the file with your editor of choice:</div>
<pre style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">$ sudo nano /usr/local/etc/le-renew-webroot.ini</pre>

There’s a lot of commented-out (and useless) stuff in this file. So, let’s cut it down and fill in only the essentials: email address, domains, and the webroot authentication stuff.  You should have something similar to this:</div>

There’s all the information we used earlier, in a nice and compact format. Let’s test it to see if the certificate renews this way:</div>
<pre class="code-pre " style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">$ cd opt/letsencrypt
$ ./letsencrypt-auto certonly -a webroot --renew-by-default --config /usr/local/etc/le-renew-webroot.ini</pre>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Notice how we set the –config flag to read the file we just created.  If all goes well, reload nginx again – just in case!</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Finally we can set up this script with a cron job.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There’s a Gist that has a nice packaged script we can run. Do your due dilligence and look it over before you install it.</div>
<pre style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">$ sudo curl -L -o /usr/local/sbin/le-renew-webroot https://gist.githubusercontent.com/thisismitch/e1b603165523df66d5cc/raw/fbffbf358e96110d5566f13677d9bd5f4f65794c/le-renew-webroot</pre>

This script can be executed anywhere. If you want, you can use it now to see how many days are left until your certificate needs to be renewed:</div>
<pre style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">$ sudo le-renew-webroot</pre>
<pre class="code-pre " style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Checking expiration date for <span class="highlight" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">example.com</span>...
The certificate is up to date, no need for renewal (89 days left).</pre>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then, the cron job itself:</div>
<pre style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">$ sudo crontab -e</pre>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Head to the bottom of the file and insert this all onto one line:</div>
<pre class="code-pre " style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: rgb(18, 18, 20); border: 1px solid rgb(102, 102, 102); color: #cccccc; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, Monospaced; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 5px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">30 2 * * 1 /usr/local/sbin/le-renew-webroot >> /var/log/le-renewal.log</pre>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There’ll be a log file created at /var/log/le-renewal.log, so if anything goes awry you’ll have a reference as to how to fix it.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Montserrat; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 28px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And that’s it!  You’re now running an amazing free encryption from Let’s Encrypt, letting it renew automatically, and allowing WordPress’ finicky internal features (like Jetpack) still authenticate.</div>
