  • Thanks for your response. Indeed, this is only for myself within my home network. No split DNS required, the public DNS record mentions my local private IP address which of course will only resolve to my homeserver from within my home network and will not lead anywhere for anyone else from any other network. That’s all what makes this great. Yes, I did the DNS challenge as I mentioned in my OP and retrieved a wildcard certificate for all my local needs :)

  • No, it is not fully working. Many have tried to explain to you that your setup only works for YOU on YOUR subnet.

    That’s exactly what I want. I don’t know why you thought I wanted something else? I’m trying to reach services in my home network from home, using HTTPS, without requiring a local DNS or to load self-signed certificates.

    EDIT: I realize I maybe could’ve made a better job at explaining that the intention was for it to work exclusively for me on my home network.

  • Opening up the network developer tools in Firefox, I’m seeing the following error: NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST, though I haven’t been able to determine how to solve this yet. It does make sense, because it would also explain why curl is unable to resolve it, if the nameserver is unreachable. I’m still confused though, because cloudflare, google and most other DNS’s I’ve tried work without issue. Even setting google’s dns in firefox does not resolve it.
