Automatic Certificate Renewal

DaycomDaycom
in Firebox - Product Enhancements

I have a Watchguard working as an inbound HTTPS proxy server. As such I have to upload a valid SSL Certificate every year so that people on the Internet has a valid SSL Certificate when browsing the website.

Apple and Google plan to reduce SSL Certificate lifespans to 45 days by 2027.

As a feature request, I believe Watchguard should consider enabling automatic SSL Renewal (like Let's Encrypt or something similar). The current recommendation is that SSL Certificates should be renew automatically by the web server, so I believe Watchguard should consider adding a method for Automatic Renewals of SSL Certificates for use in proxy servers. Especially before they shorten the renewal time.
