DDNS + Namecheap + Letsencrypt (wildcard)

[teneff]

My current setup:

• Asus router RT-AX88U
• Merlin installed
• NameCheap domain
• Dynamic IP

Goal:

• DDSN configuration with NameCheap (working)
• Obtain *.home.domain.tld certificate
• Configure nginx reverse proxy + HTTPS for multiple

In NameCheap I have configured both home and *.home as A + Dynamic DNS Record .
In Asus Merlin UI -> WAN -> DDNS I have set Server: NAMECHEAP.COM, Hostname: home.domain.tld, Domain Name: *.home.domain.tld and Enable wildcard: Yes.

Everything seems to be working, but the certificate generated is only issued to CN: home.domain.tld. Isn't that Enable wildcard options exactly for issuing wildcard certificate? Have anyone managed to issue such certificate?

---

I have also tried copying /etc/inadyn.conf to /jffs/configs/inadyn.conf changing the hostname to

hostname = { 'home.domain.tld', '*.home.domain.tld' }

as described in the in-a-dyn docs but it doesn't seem to have an effect on the letsencrypt certificate request

Hi, I raised the same issue in this thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/h...e-when-using-www-namecheap-com-in-ddns.91113/ and RMerlin responded and addressed this in 3004.388.8_2 - it takes now the Domain Name for the certificate (though no entry of Hostname+Domain Name combined) so it should address what you are looking for.
