This garbage website now is being served over https. I think it basically ensures that traffic between the server and you hasn’t been intercepted and tampered with, else an error will occur or something. I don’t think I’ve ever come across something like this before. I could imagine that a government would like to tamper with wikileaks traffic to prevent its’ citizens from viewing sensitive information.

You used to have to buy a certificate from a CA but Let’s Encrypt lets you get certs for free. All I had to do was run this bash script.
