- rblatz 6y agoThat’s irrelevant to this discussion about hosting sites on a LAN with no internet access. If you need https on the public internet you need a trusted cert.
- bildung 6y agoDon't think personal LAN, think e.g. industrial automation: Many sensible companies want modern sensor systems that provide REST APIs and so on, but don't want those to access the internet. The hosts in this case often are appliance-like devices from third parties.
