    The DNS-01 challenge [1] allows for issuing SSL certificates without a publicly routable IP address. It needs API support from your DNS provider to automate it, but e.g. lego [2] supports many services.

    I personally leave my Wireguard VPN always on, but as its only routing the local subnet with my services, it doesn’t even appear in my battery statistics.

      Thank you for the info and the links. That seems like a more sensible approach. Hope to try it out after the work week is done.
