Local domains / custom domains stopped working

[dogmatic69]

I've been using this for my home automation and using home as a tld with bind server locally. This was working great until the last week or so, now I can no longer create certs for domains like foo.home.

After digging in the code (there is only a generic internal error popup in the UI) it seems that the domain needs to respond with some sort of endpoint to prove it exists. Any reason for this change?

This makes it really difficult to have certificates locally as now I would need to set up a fake service somewhere publicly to serve this endpoint just so that the certificate "validation" will pass.

I assume you mean LetsEncrypt certs created through this application. In that case, you should never have been able to do so. If letsencrypt servers can't reach foo.home on your public ip and dns records, with ports open to Nginx Proxy Manager, you won't get a certified letsencrypt cert period.

This has been the case from day 1 - this is not a new change. If you want fully valid certified certs for privately hosted DNS records on your network, I don't think you're going to get it from any Certificate Authority.

It's 100% has worked previously. I'll find another way then.
