    As you may already know, the game isn't legal in many countries, so my local internet tends to block this site and makes the site "supposedly" inaccessible. There is a simple workaround for this, however, by using https:// instead of http://, as the local internet tends to only be able to block http protocols. Most other maple sites have already adopted the https:// and I have no trouble using those sites.

    Most links are accessible, however some links still tend to be in the form of http://, causing them to be blocked. For example, the "troubleshooting guide" in the download section seems to be in http://. I have to copy the link, paste them on the url, and add the "s" after the http everytime I want to access the link. I see most sections of the site has this fixed, but there are still so many links being blocked, and it makes using this site very inconvenient.

    I honestly think it is not that much effort. In linux, we have something like "sed", so using something like sed -i "s/http:/https:/g" ./* will replace all http into https. I'm not sure what you use, but I'm sure you have something similar in the tools you use (I just mentioned this because I don't exactly know your level of programming skills, I think you'll know better). But if there is some other reason that makes this not possible, please at least change the important links to https://, like the voting rule or the troubleshooting guide. It might be a burden, and it is just a little bit of more convenience for me, so I would really be grateful if you fix the links for me.

    I can't seem to see the problem here, but all the navigation links are using HTTPS.

    huh... that's strange when I used the site last night, many of the links were http:// (like the ones I mentioned), so I got into the warning.or.kr everytime I clicked those. I guess it was temporary.... I'll notify you again when the same things happen.

    Well I found that the problem is rather odd, in my case. The site works perfectly (all HTTPS) when I access this site from my workplace. When I access this site at my own personal computer at my house, however, some links (like the ones I mentioned) direct me to HTTP, resulting in warning.or.kr showing up. It may be my personal computer doing strange things, but honestly I don't know why this is happening... it's probably a problem at my end, but can you check if you have time?
