- Let's Encrypt now issues IP address and six-day certificates to the public.
- Certbot 5.3 introduces the --ip-address flag for IP address certificates.
- Use Certbot 5.4+ with --staging, --preferred-profile shortlived, and --webroot to request IP certificates.
- Certbot currently supports obtaining but not installing IP address certificates.
- Webroot, manual, and standalone plugins support IP address certificates; nginx and apache plugins do not yet.
- Ensure Certbot is set up for automatic renewal, possibly using a --deploy-hook for webserver updates.
