The article discusses the proper setup of TLS certificates for internal services using a split-horizon DNS configuration, an ACME client like acme.sh, and a reverse proxy such as nginx with WAF features. It provides a step-by-step guide on how to implement this solution, including the use of NetBird for custom zones, and emphasizes the importance of certificate auto-renewal.
The implementation of secure TLS certificates for internal services can enhance data privacy and security, potentially reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information within an organization.
- Using a split-horizon DNS configuration to resolve internal and external services differently.
- Employing an ACME client like acme.sh for certificate issuance from public CAs such as Let's Encrypt or ZeroSSL.
- Implementing nginx as a reverse proxy with WAF features to reject traffic not originating from the VPN.
- Automated certificate renewal using cron jobs.
Discussion (59):
