First, you need to prepare a domain name, and select the desired product and click Create.

In the form of offline generation of CSR, KeyManager will be used to generate CSR. If you have not yet used KeyManager, it is strongly recommended that you go to the suggested address to download. You can choose the corresponding platform to download. Since I have already downloaded it in advance, here Do not repeat the operation.

Fill in the necessary information, click Generate CSR, and follow the browser prompts to return to the browser to continue the operation.

OK, now that you have the verification value, you need to go to the DNS service provider where the domain name is located for record resolution.
-
Note that the TXT record must be selected for the record type here. If the record type is wrong, the verification will not succeed.
-
In this way, a record is successfully configured, and the test is successful.
-
If there is a detection situation here, don't panic, because different DNS service providers have different effective time for resolution records, just click again to verify later.
-
If the certificate application is successful, you can see that because the CSR is generated offline, FreeSSL does not return the private key of the certificate. Because your private key is in the KeyManager, you only need to save the certificate to the KeyManager, and the KeyManager will automatically Match the private key of the certificate for you. Okay, save it successfully, so you have successfully applied for a certificate.
