Based on the above (and some other reading) I made some changes to the LUV 
configuration.

SSLProtocol all -SSLv3 -TLSv1

I used the above to remove support for TLSv1.  That prevents Android versions 
below 4.3 from connecting as well as ancient versions of IE on Windows.  I'm 
pretty sure that every Windows system that still has MS support can run a 
browser that supports TLS version 1.1.  As for the tiny minority of devices 
running Android 4.3 and earlier, that's going to be a problem for them if they 
aren't using Chrome.

I believe that the main purpose of LUV is education.  If someone has a problem 
with a LUV web site then they can talk to us and get some help with that.  
While if they encounter the same issue on some corporate site they probably 
won't.

# from https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/
# HSTS (mod_headers is required) (15768000 seconds = 6 months)
  Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000"

I've had the above in the LUV configuration for some time.  That means that 
browsers will cache the fact that they should use HTTPS so if you manually 
type in a URL the browser will use HTTPS instead.

        IN      CAA     0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
        IN      CAA     0 issuewild ";"
        IN      CAA     0 iodef "mailto:[email protected]";

I've also added the above DNS entries to lock the luv.asn.au domain to only 
certificates from letsencrypt.org.  I don't think that this is going to give 
us a significant benefit as letsencrypt gives out certificates based on 
connecting to the name in question.  So the task of fooling letsencrypt is 
probably easier than fooling a regular HTTP session.  This also means that the 
Strict-Transport-Security also probably provides minimal benefit.  Also the 
LUV web site doesn't need a lot of security, we aren't going online banking or 
anything.

But again we are about education, so if LUV doing this helps others learn 
about configuration options and promote them for other organisations with 
greater security needs then that's a good thing.
