Craig, thank you for your advice! I've been looking into TLS and one node red "guru" suggested that the use of a proxy server may be a good idea. Seems like a lot of expense and maintenance for a small system like this. Thoughts? Also, I posted this topic: [Best place to keep certs ubuntu - fresh install of node red v3](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/best-place-to-keep-certs-ubuntu-fresh-install-of-node-red-v3/70105) as I'm at a loss where to put my Certs directory. Many thanks, Jon
