Why do you only have access to http? Knowing that would help guide answers.
I may not have a domain name, and therefore no HTTPS, just HTTP only and can only connect by knowing the IP address and port number.
And you cant use self signed certificates because?
They provide the same level of encryption. The benefit of a domain and a trusted CA issued cert is that browsers/os will automatically trust that the server is who its said it is (ie you dont get a warning).
But if you import your servers root CA to your OS, then your OS (and browser) will automatically trust any cert issued using that root cert, thus you dont get a warning.
With or without a warning, it will still encrypt at TLS1.3
I feel like you should just use a reverse proxy tbh.
Is it internal? Because otherwise this is a super bad plan
