The first time you evaluate a program you just submitted on Moodle, you will likely be faced with a pop-up window mentioning "''You are using an encrypted connection''".   This is because Moodle ships programs on a special computers to be evaluated, just in case the program is malicious, or written in such a way that it compromises the integrity of the computer.   In this case that computer crashes, but the computer running Moodle is not affected.
<br />
This page explains how to navigate the different pop-ups that will appear.   You will only have to do this once, the very first time you evaluate a program.  After that, you should, hopefully, be all set!
