Internet Search - is it Encrypted?

Postby wiggins09 » Tue May 20, 2014 8:33 am

Sites like binsearch offer SSL so I wondered about how NB sends/receives query packets when running an Internet Search.
Guess the recent heartbleed thing made me think about it, so thought I'd ask.

Had a trawl around but couldn't find anything specific on this.

It's SSL. Meaning yes.

No. They're counted if you're not unlimited but, not logged.
