Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about how this tool works and standard configurations

A self-signed certificate is an SSL certificate that is signed by the same entity that created it, rather than a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) like Let's Encrypt.

They are perfect for local development, testing environments, and internal company staging servers where public trust is not required.

Browsers do not trust self-signed certificates because they are not signed by a pre-installed trusted root CA. You can safely bypass the warning for development and testing.
