Pornhub last year launched a bug bounty program offering money in exchange for information about vulnerabilities in its site, and now the popular porn destination is taking its security efforts a step further.

Pornhub on Thursday officially switched to HTTPS, so visitors can now access the site over an encrypted channel. Pornhub's sister site YouPorn will also be making the switch on Tuesday, April 4.

Once primarily reserved for financial websites, HTTPS, or HyperText Transport Protocol Secure, is a more secure version of HTTP. When you see HTTPS at the beginning of a web address, you can rest assured that all communications between your browser and the website are encrypted.

In a statement, Pornhub Vice President Corey Price said the move to HTTPS will help ensure that what people do on the site "remains strictly confidential."

"As one of the most viewed websites in the world, it is our duty to ensure the confidentially and safety of our users," said YouPorn's Vice Presidnet Brad Burns. "The transition to HTTPS will go a long way in solidifying our users' privacy and protecting them against various types of malware. The data on our webpages will now be encrypted, making it significantly harder for third parties to penetrate. Now, our community members can peruse our site even more safely, knowing they have that extra layer of security."

Pornhub and YouPorn are both among the top 100 most visited websites in the world, according to Google.

Their switch to HTTPS comes just days after Congress voted to overturn a Federal Communications Commission rule requiring ISPs to get permission before selling consumer browsing history and other data. As The Verge notes, HTTPS won't hide from your ISP that you visited Pornhub, but will prevent them from being able to tell what you watched on the site.
