Automate HTTPS with Certbot

Certbot is a free, open-source utility designed for Windows that simplifies the process of obtaining and installing Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates on manually-managed websites. This tool is particularly useful for web administrators looking to enhance their site's security by enabling HTTPS without the complexities of traditional certificate management. Certbot automates the issuance and renewal of certificates, ensuring that websites remain secure with minimal manual intervention.

The software operates as an ACME client, leveraging the Automated Certificate Management Environment protocol to communicate with Let's Encrypt. It requires command-line interaction, making it suitable for users familiar with terminal commands. By streamlining the certificate management process, Certbot helps enhance web security and promotes the widespread adoption of HTTPS across the internet.
