On .LAN domains, how to stop firefox switching to https (when it's not available) and stop complaining about self-signed certificates when it is available ? (lemmy.ml)

I'm just so annoyed of fighting this all the time.

If I can't figure this out I'm going to disable all https redirecting and all certificate errors off so I can have some peace

EDIT: I do not wish to manage certificates I do not want to setup private key infrastructure I don't want to use real internet domain names I don't want to manually install certificates into browsers after fishing them out of my ephemeral virtual machines

I just want to, add exception for *.lan for https auto redirect and auto-accept self-signed certificates as valid. This is not much to ask.

you should only need to allow this once for each domain/subdomain, surely that can't be that much of a pain.

yes that has to be repeated when the certificate changes, but make it with a 2-5 year expiration and it'll be safer than attempting to disable these security measures for all domains, which would be just very silly and careless

Once for every VM I create, in every VM I create on every computer in the house Every single time it happens, a frustrating interruption with a probability of losing my train of thought Also this has to work fully offline and without infrastructure My prognosis based on this thread only solution, disable all https certificate checking and http to http redirecting everything else is multi-weekend long cast in the fire
