While doing some troubleshooting recently, I noticed that the PurpleAir Utility desktop app installers for Windows/Mac are not hosted at a secure URL - they’re served via insecure HTTP (see [The PurpleAir Utility](https://community.purpleair.com/t/the-purpleair-utility/673)). It would be much better for these to be hosted via SSL URLs, HTTP is way too easy to intercept/proxy without anyone realizing it. Thanks for all the great work y’all do! ---

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We’ll fix this by providing a URL the Utility can be served with SSL. ---

Awesome, thanks for taking action on this!
