Changed my find my peplink address and it still shows as the old one on my device. How long does it take for incontrol2 to talk to my device… its been more than 40 minutes since i made the change.
Would you able to open a support ticket for support team to check ?

Useless is the dependency tied to a “Find My Peplink” service.
I do only want let’s encrypt certs for our own domain.
Please do implement Let’s encrypt SSL certificates better, with privacy in mind.

To acquire a certificate from letsencrypt, you have to proof you’re the domain’s owner. So letsencrypt provided a couple of ways to do the ownership validation. As InControl is managing Find My Peplink addresses, so it is possible for InControl to validate using DNS. For any other domain names, as they are not managed by IC2, it is not possible for IC2 to pass the validations.
Try to google “letsencrypt acme”. You will find a lot of tools to do validations and acquire certificates from letsencrypt.

Creation of a “_acme-challenge.host.domain.tld.” allows ACME DNS validation. For ACME validation one can use the DNS challenge using the Balance 310 build in DNS-server, which is acting as authoritative zone server (due to inbound traffic load balancing) for the domains we do wish the certificate for.
Besides a record for host.domain.tld we do wish to include the individual WAN links as alternate names in the certificate: wan1.host.domain.tld, wan2.host.domain.tld and wan3.host.domain.tld
I assume IC2 and ICA are some kind of value-add extra-cost products?
Are there still no plans to integrate this into the actual Peplink units? Web validation would be pretty easy (probably easier than whatever you’re doing to make this happen off the box). I also assume there’s no automated way to push certs onto the server if I validate them myself off the box? (ftps, scp, etc.)
Hello @sporkman,
FYI
IC2 is the Peplink hosted InControl2 systems management platform, it is included with every new Peplink & Pepwave device as part of the warranty
ICA is a version of InControl2 (IC2) that some MSPs (Managed Service Provider) and organisations use and is often privately hosted with that MSPs or organisations network.
Happy to Help,
Marcus
