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 your program to a special computer 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.
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!
