Title: Wildcard SSL using Let's Encrypt and the ACME plugin
Post by: tre4bax on October 09, 2018, 10:07:48 pm
Hi There,

Has anyone managed to actually achieve this?  If so do you fancy sharing the steps you took to make it happen?

Many thanks.

I'm assuming that nobody has managed this yet  :(

I've tried lots of ways and still never managed to get it to stick.

I have figured out what my problem is.

Because opnsense does not work well routing between my box and the WAN there is no route to the let's encrypt servers.  Really frustrating.  If only the damned thing new how to follow a default route rather than forcing me to add a local route for each service I need. 

I've tried but I think the let's encrypt servers are using round robin or something because it seems to look for a different address each time I look it up.

So essentially it won't work because my opnsense does not work very well and nobody seems to know why.

:-(

I use it, but not with wildcards. Haven't had any issues with a default route either. My box uses the dhcp client to pull an ip and route from my isp.

If your issue is indeed a routing problem I'd imagine if you detailed the issue someone would be able to help. I have a hard time believing that there isn't some config issue if your box isn't routing properly. That's a pretty important function that I would suspect would be a prominent topic of discussion if it didn't work.

Sorry, just saw you started another thread on the issue. Maybe you could explain your config on that thread and I'll try to help there if I can.

Yeah thought I would do that as the issue is now not wildcards but routing.  This one can close now and I will move to that thread with this.  Ta for the help.
