does this work for domains too?

On a local network ?

YES  with ...etc/hosts file.

You have to define this domaine name on server and all client PC etc/hosts file.

Example

192.168.1.11   mywebsite1.dev

Here 192.168.1.11 is IP Server. Thus, all your clients browsers will point to server IP with url : mywebsite1.dev

if you want DNS instead of IP, replace the Section  [alt_names]  by :
[alt_names]
DNS.1   = mywebsite1.dev
DNS.2   = mywebsite2.dev


On a local network, without internet, mywebsite1.dev should be defined on C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts  file :
192.168.1.11  mywebsite1.dev

If this works, it will help a lot of people.

No, it does'nt work.

Self signed certificats are for testing purpose or for local network.

If you want to use your domain name from web as secure https://xxxx.domain.com.br 

the task is hard : you have to export your certificat from your server and communicate it to all your known clients to install it on there PC / Device !

 

Mmm...Asking ChatGp4

"is it possible to get a free trusted certificate for a public websites ?"

Answer:

"Yes, it is possible to obtain a free trusted certificate for a public website. There are several certificate authorities (CAs) that offer free SSL/TLS certificates that are trusted by major browsers. Here are a few popular options:

Let's Encrypt: Let's Encrypt is a non-profit CA that provides free SSL/TLS certificates. They offer an automated certificate issuance and renewal process, making it easy to obtain and manage certificates for your website.

Cloudflare: Cloudflare offers a free SSL/TLS service called "Universal SSL." When you sign up for their service, they provide you with a free SSL certificate that is automatically installed on your website. Cloudflare acts as a reverse proxy, encrypting the traffic between the client and Cloudflare's servers.

ZeroSSL: ZeroSSL offers free SSL certificates that are valid for 90 days. They provide both automated and manual certificate generation options. ZeroSSL also offers an ACME client that can be integrated into your server for automated certificate issuance and renewal.

SSL.com: SSL.com provides a free SSL certificate option called "SSL.com FREE." Their free certificate is valid for 90 days and supports both domain validation and wildcard certificates.

It's worth noting that while these free certificates are trusted by browsers, they may have some limitations compared to paid certificates. For example, they may have a shorter validity period, limited support, or fewer additional features. If your website has specific requirements or needs extended validation, you may need to consider a paid certificate from a trusted CA.

Additionally, some hosting providers or content delivery networks (CDNs) also offer integrated SSL/TLS solutions with free certificates. It's worth checking if your hosting provider has any options available for obtaining trusted certificates at no additional cost."

1-Just read the uniGUI manual:
http://unigui.com/doc/online_help/generate_a_self-signed_certifi.htm?zoom_highlightsub=certificate

2- Get a tutorial video on how domains, network and certificates works. Available in youtube

3- Self-sign, domain intranet will work IN YOUR INTRANET. Outside connection, nop.

TLDR; Local, you can create. Domains, nop.
That is basic of the basic.

Use cloudflare. You can do more than that.
