Letsencrypt is under US jurisdiction. Is there a free-er alternative? (sopuli.xyz)

I know that I can simply make my own private certificate authority that only I and my family trust. But is there some public provider like letsencrypt that is in a free-er part of the world than the US?

Does regular safari show the same prompt? Afaik, browsers on iOS are safari reskins, so I'm curious if they added his cert in directly again, or if the onion browser actually follows standards the os browser doesn't.

Yes, but safari doesn't even let me ignore the warning, it has a explanation in detail, and only allows closing the website.

You didn’t look hard enough. My router cert isn’t valid and I have to bypass the warning every time.

Maybe there’s a special case for local subnets?

Here’s what shows up for me (in portuguese):

Safari browser invalid certificate warning page.

Clicking on more details, only allows me to check the certificate:

Safari browser detailed information for invalid certificate warning.

Here’s the translated details:

Safari warns you when a website has an invalid certificate. This can happen if an attacker has compromised your connection. For your protection, you cannot visit this site. You can check later to see if the problem has been solved. You can also contact the site owner to report this error.

To learn more, you can see the certificate.

Said certificate:

iOS invalid certificate information.

Edit: on the latest iOS version (27) btw.

Thanks for the proof! I stand corrected! I see basically the same but after the view link there is another think that bypasses it.

Must be difference between expired vs compromised cert.
