I've been waiting for a couple weeks to put it to use. I saw it on another message board and thought it was genius!

Yes

http goes out on port 80. that regular web traffic.

https is secure traffic which goes out on port 443.

all of your banking sites and for the most part any sites you log onto will be secure websites. when you connect to a secure site via https an certificate is sent from their server to you. sometimes your computer won't recognize it and ask you if you want to go anyway. once you hit yes, your connection is a direct connection between your computer and their server. this is so noone can get any of the information that is going back and forth.

makes sense...thanks for the dumbed down version
