How to get a https address? (No Let's Encrypt)

Hi,

many thanks for your response, and it does sound like a great idea, though a little bit outside of my league, knowledge wise. I may try it as an experiment in the future as a learning experience and see whether I can implement it in the future :smile:

Also, I have recently realised that the issue is not my IP blocking my port 80 but that they have a remote management system on the router for when we supposedly need IT assistance. Sadly, in this specific router there is no way to turn that off. This caused all the port 80 (and i think 443) requests to directly go to the router instead of my web server. In regards to the static IP, Iā€™m sorted on that side as I pay extra to get it static (more like forced to as otherwise Iā€™d have to live with CGNat with no port forwarding)

Though, at least that does leave me with the option of buying a router in the future to resolve the port 80 issues. Thanks again for this!

Why dont you put your router in bridge mode and then by your own router?

Iā€™ve found a solution in the end to get port 80 to work. Completely my fault in all honestly for not using it in the first place. It was to put the server in the DMZ. Now it no longer goes to the routerā€™s login page first :smiley:. Only issue is that the router only supports one device on the DMZ, so if I ever need another server, it looks like Iā€™ll indeed have to go and buy a new router.

As for using bridge mode, forgive me if I am wrong but I donā€™t think my router supports that being enabled. Thatā€™s why Iā€™ll probably just have to fully switch to the new router if I buy one. Shouldnā€™t be an issue as my ISP supports using third party routers.

Hi all. I am a beginner and did similar thing like @kevdog , free domain (mydomain.ga) from freenom, and mange the DNS by Cloudflare. However, I worked for a few days and still cannot get https. The analyzer (https://dnssec-analyzer.verisignlabs.com/mydomain.ga) showed that

  1. No DS records found for ga in the . zone
  2. No DNSKEY records found for ga
  3. No DS records found for mydomain.ga in the ga zone

Any advice?
