My knowledge of networking is substantially lacking to the point where I need to clear up some very basic information and more importantly, my misconceptions. So please excuse it and thanks in advance for your highly valued responses.
I am just now recovering from a total re-install of Win 10, and Blue Iris. Stunnel is next.
I will be using an external DDNS from Asus in the form of https://xxxxxxxxxxxxx.asuscomm.com:8443.
I was issued a cert_key.tar file from Let's Encrypt Authority X3, which I assume is a certificate for my router only?
... or should this automatically cover everything that comes from my router. I have always been under the impression that if you connect to anything that starts with https:// in its URL, then it is already secure.
If I still need a separate certificate for the Blue Iris web server in the form of a .pem file, then can I use some information from the cert_key.tar file inside the .pem file that I will need to create?
I ask this because the expiration from cert_key.tar file comes with a renewal reminder and somewhat better reputation.
The Common Name (FQDN) should be the hostname of the machine running stunnel. (according to stunnel web site).
Would that be?
1. DESKTOP-83T0H6C (name of my computer)
2. 6D447D6E-C19F-4D77-A2F9-13DD22EA66FA (Device ID)
