#TLS in a private home network: is there anything being worked on to make this easier? The options seem to be:
- get a valid cert using a purchased domain name and use it internally
- become your own root CA and install root certs on each device
Both have significant downsides. But if you do neither you don't get that sweet sweet HTTPS that is needed for so many web features (webcam access, PWA, etc..)
Is any work being done to help improve this situation?
