I want to be able to reach various appliances in our home network (router, modem, etc.) via HTTPS without having to dismiss those scary warnings all the time.

Because most of those appliances are not connected to the public internet. They do allow uploading a certificate though.
- t312227 3y agohello, hmmm ... idk. for LAN-based appliances, which will likely even have invalid names a la * router.my.home or * nas.my.home or whatever "dummy-tld" + local domain one uses ... so if i want to use certificates in such an environment, i would create my own CA and import its public cert(s) into my browsers - or OSes - certificate-store. problem solved!! and also learned some useful lessons regarding "run your own CA" :) cheersv
