Important: You are obliged to enter only valid and true address and identity information for Whois data. This is a requirement of all domain registries.

Joker.com provides a simple tool to automate the usage of Let's Encrypt certificates.
N.B.: We will support this solution also with our new name service, and the new API which is underway.
Using this tool, you will be able to request certificates from Let's Encrypt without having to expose the domain using HTTP running a web server; or add special configurations to existing web services.
Instead, the Let's Encrypt method used is 'dns-01', where a special TXT record needs to be inserted into your domain to request a certificate. Please note that this domain must be using the free Joker.com nameservice (which is the default).
Setting a TXT record is fairly straightforward:
The following explains the technical details - you may skip this and simply use the attached files which you find below. They do work with the commonly used tool dehydrated. Where to place these files, and how to configure your domains or host names, is documented in the file 'config.sh'.
For the use of the certbot, github-user dhull kindly provides another solution:
GitHub: https://github.com/dhull/certbot-dns-joker
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/certbot-dns-joker/
This can easily be installed by "pip install certbot-dns-joker" - see the github page above for details.
To set a TXT record, you may now do this using a single cURL request:
curl -X POST https://svc.joker.com/nic/replace -d \
'username=your-username&password=your-password&zone=your-domain.com&label=_acme-challenge&type=TXT&value=the-TXT-content-to-insert'
This will create a TXT record for "_acme-challenge" in zone "your-domain.com".
It responds with 200 and "OK: n# inserted, n# deleted" if everything went OK, and appropriate status and text if not.
Some additional notes regarding this:
