how do I get emby to generate self-signed certificate?

Hi all, Today I'm testing remote access for the first time. I don't want to pay dyndns $50/year to host a dns server name. My ISP already hosts a generic dns server name for my public IP address. I want Emby to generate a self-signed certificate for that domain, but don't see an option for it. Thanks

Self signed certificates are not supported. Any certificate used needs to be a legitimate certs so that the device manufactures (out of our control) will recognize the SSL cert and allow the traffic. With a self signed cert this will fail and get blocked as it should. Get your own domain and then you can use a free cert from Lets Encrypt or from Cloudflare if you want a CND/proxy in front of your Emby Server.
