Popular Scenarios

  • Local HTTPS development

    Run your dev server over HTTPS without buying a certificate or setting up Let's Encrypt locally.

  • Internal service TLS

    Encrypt traffic between internal services on a private network where public CA trust isn't needed.

  • Testing TLS configurations

    Generate throwaway certs to test server TLS settings, cipher suites, and client certificate validation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will browsers trust a self-signed certificate?

Not by default. You'll see a security warning that you can bypass for development. For production, use a certificate from a trusted CA.

How long should the validity period be?

For local dev, 365 days is typical. For internal services, match your organization's certificate rotation policy.
