Hi everyone,
I have a remote access through public ip that works through http perfectly.
I need to transform http access to httpS cause i need to connect other devices that need httpS but I can’t create a valid certificate and having a public ip it seems silly to use duckdns and update the certificates every 90 days.
Please can anyone help me, I am out of ideas.
Thanks
Certificates are only valid for URLs - not ip addresses. So you will need dynamic DNS service as you cant register the IP owned by your ISP for your own domain name.
That is not the main reason you need it. You should only be using https on the internet. If you use http nefarious people can sniff your unencrypted traffic and easily gain access to your system.
The DuckDNS addon includes LetsEncrypt for https.
ok but can i use my pubblic IP using Duck DNS for a domain?
i have a fritzbox and it generate a domain, can i generate a ssl certificate with that domain?
i think that is stupid having a pubblic ip and don’t use it…
There are any ways to solve it or i need necessarily use duck dns?
Yes. As long as your ISP does not use CGNAT.
I have no idea. This sounds like you may already be using a dynamic DNS service.
I’m a little baffled by this statement. How do you think you access the internet?
Or are you using the term “public IP” to mean something completely different than its normal definition?

I mean I have a STATIC PUBLIC IP (bought and not dynamic that changes every time I restart my router), I already access remotely with a port fowarding of my router. Creating a dummy DNS that I have to regenerate every 90 days seemed silly to me.
But if you have no other solution in order to get a stable DNS I will use DUCK DNS.
That’s it.
You don’t need DuckDns, but a certificate needs a name. In the add-on store there is a LetsEncrypt add-on (it is included in the DuckDNS add-on, but that one works without DuckDNS)
Or you can spend 10€/10$ and buy a domain name and use it with Cloudflare.
ok perfect we got it… This is the topic!
Now, i already have a domain in ovh and a static public ip.
Can i have support to configure all it?
Tnx
