Hi,

If you don’t have a domain, you basically can’t get a valid / trusted certificate (I mean, basically, at least from let’s Encrypt).

However, there’s other ways to get a certificate without paying for domain. Websites like freenom actually offers free domain (for a short period or with other limitations). You could get a domain from freenom first, then get a certificate using that domain.

After you got your domain, kindly visit [https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/](https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/) and proceed with that…

Thank you

No, Let’s Encrypt certificate will only work when you have a certificate. You can’t (not yet) issue a certificate to an IP, local domain or not registered domain.

AWS (public) Certificate Manager have the same requirements.
