Topic: luci-ssl certificate fail

Very new to OpenWRT.  Just flashed by router then installed luci-ssl(via Luci, not SSH).  Browsers are now saying Certificate Error when logging back on.   Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER  Did I miss a step?  Any chance I can fix this within the GUI?  Thank you.

SSL certificates are self-signed (simply because it's not possible to do it otherwise, unless you have a spare domain and either buy a certificate for it from some CA or use letsencrypt/ luci-app-acme, the later only works if your router is directly accessible from the outside), unless you go through the afforementioned trouble, you simply have to accept the self-signed certs (and yes, browsers are not very helpful in this regard).

Thank you very much for your response.  Ok, I'll ask the browsers to make the exception.  But the connection  is   still secure right.

thanks again--

The discussion might have continued from here.
