Where can I get a free tls certificate?

Question

Computer networks

Hello! In general, I want to download a simple certificate in order to test the site, I heard about letsencrypt (it seems like it is supported by all browsers, well, I thought) Why can't I download the certificate simply by proving ownership of the domain, why install some applications if I want to get two small file? market zero, it will help to constantly renew the certificate after 90 days or nights, agree that not everyone needs it! I don't want to install anything extra, especially a network application, I repeat: Where can I get a free tls certificate?

Create yours! One command and it is on your hard drive (along with the key):

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout key.pem -x509 -days 365 -out certificate.pem

In order to test the site, you do not need to "get" the certificate - you need to generate it. There are a zillion instructions on the net for generating self-signed certificates and deploying your own CAs. Certificates in generally recognized CAs (including LE) are needed for the "big web", that is, for sites that are visible to everyone.
Installing a certificate updater is LE policy, if you don't like it, don't use it :)
