Gmail auto deletes forwarded emails

by Russ Michaels | Apr 11, 2020 | Tech Stuff, WEBBY STUFF

Gmail auto deletes forwarded emails I learnt something new about how Google G Suite (Gmail) treats forwarded emails this week, which may explain why you have had issues with forwarded emails vanishing into the abyss, because it turns out Gmail auto deletes forwarded emails. Email forwarding is something that is done regularly, usually because the end user needs another business email address but already has an email account and doesn't want yet another mailbox to login to and check email, so...

Lets Encrypt vs Paid SSL Certificates

by Russ Michaels | Feb 7, 2020 | Security, WEBBY STUFF, WordPress

Common questions I get asked by clients include:- "why does my website say not secure", "do I need SSL", "why do I need SSL, I don't sell anything on my website" and "what is the difference between paid SSL and free SSL", so I will attempt to answer those questions here as simply as possible. In an age where internet security is more important than ever, it’s vital to let people know that your site is safe to use. A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate is a type of website encryption key...

cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

by Russ Michaels | Jan 14, 2020 | Security, Tech Stuff, WEBBY STUFF

I have had this "cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" error occur a few times now on my Windows server with my WHMCS installations. It primarily has affected payment gateways which are using curl to communicate, which in my case was Go Cardless. Not being a PHP developer, I always tend to forget the cause of the problem when it crops up, so hopefully, this will serve as a reminder to myself as well 🙂 The reason for this error is that curl needs a...

How to Prevent Bypassing CloudFlare

by Russ Michaels | Nov 3, 2019 | Security, WEBBY STUFF

Cloudflare is a free DNS proxy service and has become the ubiquitous solution for any small website/business (as well as hackers, warez, porn or any controversial blogger sites) that want to hide their IP address and by extension, their hosting provider by hiding behind a proxy server. In addition to the anonymising proxy service, it also has a bunch of neat caching, website performance and security features and DDOS protection too which can be a super-easy way to improve the performance and...

Google Find My Device not working

by Russ Michaels | Aug 7, 2019 | Tech Stuff, WEBBY STUFF

Ever since Google updated its "find my device" page for Android a couple of years ago, it has not been working for us. We would still get the old version of the page with a message saying "This page cannot load Google maps correctly". Google find my device page Clicking on the "try the new and updated find my device" link, would just redirect back to this same page. The issue only affected my g suite account but not my regular, free, gmail account. I tried contacting Google support back when I...

Google discriminates against small businesses

by Russ Michaels | Jul 11, 2019 | News & Gossip, Rogue Traders, WEBBY STUFF

Part of getting your business seen online is SEO, and an important part of this is getting your business registered with Google my business and Google maps.

Not only have I had to do this for my own business and my wife’s business but it is a service I provide to clients. When it works, this is a simple process, which involves Google sending a postcard to the business address with a code on it, which you then use to verify the business address.

However, sometimes the postcard doesn’t turn up, or some miscreant might report your listing and claim it is fraudulent or misleading and gets it suspended for review, at which point you have to contact Google my business support and request manual verification, which is where things get ridiculous.
