vac:p2p:ift:2025q2-nimlibp2p-autotls
Implement a process that automates the issuance of Let’s Encrypt wilcard TLS certificates for nim-libp2p nodes. This would enable reliable browser-based clients to connect to libp2p nodes, regardless of the network topology which improves resilience and opens up a window to more capable browser clients. This task is limited to the client functionality; Server functionality could be implemented on a separate commitment. AutoTLS
