Assuming you mean the local web app needing an self-signed certificate... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Secure_Contexts#when_is_a_context_considered_secure https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Secure... >Note: Firefox 84 and later support http://localhost http://localhost and http://*.localhost http://*.localhost URLs as trustworthy origins (earlier versions did not, because localhost was not guaranteed to map to a local/loopback address). So if syncthing is reachable on a port on localhost you can just switch https off.
