It’s practically impossible to use #https for devices on home networks, such as #iot devices — the #certificate system simply isn’t made for servers behind firewalls.
Why?
E.g. why can’t I easily get an intermediate (and official) CA cert for my home gateway, which then could issue certs for my devices, maybe in the same breath as assigning local dns names?
Is it that simply nobody cares about this use case, and everybody is happy enough with going through vendor clouds? Or why is that?
