SSL with no-ip and XAMPP Apache server

Question

I am working on a web page, and so that the clients could test it I mounted it on an apache server with xampp (windows). Also, I changed the ip to a domain at www.no-ip.com and now it looks something like "example.ddns.net". The problem I have now is that I want to install an SSL certificate so that the non-secure page message won't appear, but I can't do it. I tried using https://zerossl.com/ which creates 3 files: "private.key", "certificate.crt" and "ca_bundle.crt". I have tried all the tutorials on the internet, seen all the videos on youtube but I can't find the solution. Can someone help me? Thanks!

Answer 1

They have actually added earlier this year free SSL certificate for their dynamic domains.

SSL Certificates

Check the following links for details on how to generate them.

1. First generate the CSR file https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/apache-openssl/
2. Then, follow the "second part" of the guide where you will add the CSR content to you domain in order for the SSL certificate to be generated. https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/get-trustcor-premium-dv-ssl/
3. The last part is to install the certificate to Apache. The installation is pretty much the same with all other SSL certificates (https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/10026/33/installing-an-ssl-certificate-on-xampp/).
