  • Currently before establishing an encrypted connection to a webserver the domain is sent to the webserver unencrypted so that the server can choose the appropriate certificate to use for encryption. That is called SNI, Server Name Indication.

    Of course that’s a privacy risk. There are finally protocols to fix this but they aren’t very widespread and depend on DNS over HTTPS.

    I think issuing certificates based on the IP and sending the domain name encrypted based on that certificate could have fixed this issue ages ago.











  • Technology isn’t the hard part of OF. Money and moderation are. Most of the big payment suppliers like PayPal and credit card companies are vary about porn or outright ban it. So you need a partner who will take the money from customers and give it to you. And then you might need a different (or same) partner to give the money to the content creators.

    And all the time you have to make sure that none of the creators are hosting illegal material or something that is not allowed by the money transfer providers.

    But from the point of view of the creators all the money handling is the biggest service OF provides.
