With LetEncrypt now in production It will be an ansome feature if ScreenConnect woukd support it strait at install.
you could offert ssl support out of the box for all client raising the security of your application and reducing the effort for end user to set it up.
We've always liked to be transparent, so we'll try to be better about adding a brief note when we close issues with a high number of votes in the future.
As a product feature, there wasn't a clean way to implement this specific ask. We discussed it multiple times and determined it wasn't a good fit. Our conversations led to improvements, like the introduction of the security toolkit which simplifies HTTP-HTTPS redirect, but a Let's Encrypt integration would have been very hard to maintain and a hack at best.
When feature requests like this come up, we tend to leave them open hoping that advances by the vendors, new tech, and sometimes team bandwidth will allow for them to be completed in the future. We perform internal check ins on most of these issues every 3 to 6 months, but sometimes issues get cut to make way for higher priorities.
Recently, we've prioritized advances in the performance of the session manager, relay, and the router to allow for better performance and scalability. We've also been looking at long time asks that will make the product more human for users, so they discover some of the power user features inside of the product. This of course is outside of the work to stay vigilant in our security posture and squash bugs.
Thank you all for your feedback, it is heard and appreciated.

We've planned to configure Let's Encrypt for the system, so a way to get Control to automate this process would be highly appreciated.
