Re: OpenBSD Foundation on HTTPS

Come on guys.

If you actually donate and click on any links there you would see it
bring you to a secure page.

No need to have this one https type really there isn't any information
you enter on it...

I guess the sand is way more think some places then others....

Must be nice beaches there and pretty bikini too I hope!
