Help Need a SSL Certificate

RavenLunatic · 2025-03-10T13:45:05+0000

I have embarked on a mission to move all my stuff onto a VPN out of curiosity.

I have set up my computer network, phones, and tablets with Tailscale which was very straight forward. Next task was to setup Vaultwarden but here is the problem. I don’t have a verifiable SSL Certificate on my TrueNAS Scale server so the phone, and desktop app refuse to connect. It appears the built in TrueNAS Scale Certificate isn’t good enough.

How do I get a proper SSL Certificate? Looking around it seems very complicated and most of the places i have looked say that people get them from their domain provider. I do not have a domain, but I do have a static IP address.

What are my options?

Do you mean just a random numbers and letters?

Who is the cheapest registrar there seems to be a lot of them?

Bagged a good .uk name for $4.82 a year.

Now to find out how to get the certificate...

Got the cert installed but I am getting this message:

This server could not prove that it is 192.168.1.233; its security certificate is not trusted by your computer's operating system. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

any ideas?

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to 192.168.1.233. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

I followed this video

I am now getting error messages saying the cert belongs to my domain and not my local ip address.

I can access Vaultwarden if I click ignore warning and go to page anyway through Chrom and firefox

I need a work around . Subject Alternative Name is the problem as it won't let me use a local ip address.
