You can use ‘ nslookup -type=txt _‘ and such to check the record is available. So after you add the record, you need to wait till it becomes visible before pressing ‘Request Certificate’. Turned out (duh), take time to propagate. I then retried requesting certificate, it failed again while asking for another record. However, when I added the record, it did not work.

I used google domains, which needed manual verification. And if none of the builtin APIs work for the challenge, there’s a manual way of doing it. One of the ways of doing that is DNS challenge. Let’s encrypt needs to confirm that you own a domain for which you’re issuing a certificate. DNS challenge to confirm that you own your domain I went with ‘Certify SSL Manager’, because it’s one of the few that works on Windows.
To simplify creation and renewal, there are numerous clients and scripts. The cerificate would only be valid for 90 days, and needs to be renewed after that. The easiest way of getting it (for free, otherwise they’re not cheap) would be using. The proper way of getting rid of this warning is using a certificate signed by Certificate Authority. You could add that certificate to trusted certificates on your client machine. But it will cause your browser to complain: Stunnel can (and does during installation) generate a self-signed one. This config uses stunnel.pem ( PEM file format). To set up an encrypted connection, you need a certificate. The config accepts traffic from any host on 443 port (default HTTPS port) and redirects it to localhost:80. One of the recommended options I’ve found was using stunnel ( ). I needed to put https interface over my http-only server (running on Windows).

Does anyone have an alternative Certificate Authority they use which makes it easy to generate and download the certificate, or an alternative to Stunnel which still allows full functionality of the app & no security notifications in chrome? I looked into LetsEncrypt, but it has no GUI and requires an application like Certify to use, which has domain authentication requirements which present a new slew of issues with my current configuration.Note to readers: it’s the first time I’ve ever used stunnel or let’s encrypt, so I don’t really know what I’m doing. They want $10 a month to continue, which I think is absurd for my use case. The problem I have recently encountered is that ZeroSSL will only issue you "3" 90 certificates and I cannot renew it again for Free. Also with a cert I can connect to UI 3 via ddns without any additional security warnings. From my experience the mobile app's push notifications with an image (which is all I ever user the app for) don't work fully without it. I have been using ZeroSSL with Stunnel for a while now because I prefer to have a legit cert from a certificate authority versus a self signed cert.
