SSL Certificate is required to enable HTTPS Login and HTTPS Redirect in MikroTik Hotspot. MikroTik Hotspot HTTPS redirect and HTTPS login can be configured with MikroTik self-signed certificate. But self-signed certificate is not trusted by operating system. So, we get the following two issues if we configure HTTPS Login and HTTPS Redirect with self-signed certificate.
Ask to proceed unsafe site:
As browsers cannot trust self-signed certificate, it shows a warning message and asks to proceed unsafe site every time the login page redirected with HTTPS redirect. Users may face disgusting seeing this warning message again and again.
Error or Warning icon in URL bar:
Although we proceed the login page warning, browser also shows a red or yellow icon in URL bar. It also makes us confused whether the connection is secured or not.
Although self-signed certificate always establish secure connection by encrypting data, the above two issues make us confused and disgusting sometimes. To solve the above two issues we need to use public CA certificate that will be trusted by operating system and browsers.
Public CA requires yearly subscription fee to get their service. Although this payment is not so high for enterprise organizations but small business companies sometimes face trouble to pay yearly subscription fee. Don’t be worried if subscription fee goes out of budget. Some public CA organizations provide free SSL certificate to make internet completely secure. ZeroSSL is one of them who provides fast, reliable and free SSL/TL certificate for anyone. In this video I will show how to configure MikroTik Hotspot HTTPS Login and HTTPS Redirect with trusted ZeroSSL certificate to overcome the above two issues.
