Re: Now how about a way to get a hassle free cert
"Things like Let's Encrypt have tried to make it easier to get a free key but it's still way too difficult. "
And that's exactly the point I made above !
If LetsEncrypt left the old-fashioned "paste your CSR in a form and upload a verification file to your website" then it would be much easier than their very convoluted process where you can't even get started without running scripts and other nonsense.
