I&#8217;ve been curious about trying out SSL for a long time and I took this opportunity to try it out. The hands-on approach has helped me understand about certificate signing and certificate trust stores.

It feels awesome to see a site verified by oneself. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I don&#8217;t want to drag this update any longer.
