Progress Towards 100% HTTPS, June 2016
I keep hoping they will help address non-Internet TLS.  For example if you run a HTPC, fridge, printer, device controller or anything similar on your LAN and want to talk to it over the same LAN using TLS.  Getting a workable cert is currently not possible: for example the LAN names aren't going to be unique.<p>Plex did solve this in conjunction with a certificate authority, but that solution only works for them.  The general approach could work for others if someone like letsencrypt led the effort.  <a href="https://blog.filippo.io/how-plex-is-doing-https-for-all-its-users/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.filippo.io/how-plex-is-doing-https-for-all-its-...</a>
