Unable to access HA with custom certificates

I am running a self-signed CA at home on my pfSense and created a server certificate for my instance of home assistant. That pfSense also runs a DNS server which resolves “homeassistant.” to “10.0.0.3”. As you can see below, I put “homeassistant.”, “SUBDOMAIN.dyndns.org” and “10.0.0.3” as SANs into the server certificate. My http config in HA looks as follows:

http:
  base_url: https://homeassistant.DOMAIN:8123
  ssl_certificate: server.crt
  ssl_key: server.key
  ip_ban_enabled: True
  login_attempts_threshold: 10

When I started to write this, I wanted to post screenshots of the problem with Google Chrome but for some reason Chrome has decided to just work now. Instead, Opera now has that same problem:

I get this error without an option to proceed and skip the SSL validation. The same happens in incognito mode.

Google Chrome on Android show that same error and Chrome on iPad shows a homeassistant logo with “Unable to connnect to Home Assistant” and a retry button AFTER login! Pressing retry brings me back to that same screen.


Does anyone have an idea what could be going on there?

DNS lookup:
