OVH automatically migrates expiring paid SSL to Let's Encrypt certificates

On first sight, with only my knowledge in hand, I do think it is a good idea.<p>I&#x27;m also really interested in knowing if there are issues that could arise or people that annoyed by this kind of automatic conversion and why. What are your thoughts ?

I don&#x27;t know, this feels a bit weird. How about your local garage replacing the locks of your car without asking (not knowing who got duplicates of the keys etc) or if you live in a neighbour that even requires you to lock your car?<p>In any case this should be an opt-in service (for the lazy).

I logged into the backend of WHM for my cPanel VPS(I&#x27;m using another VPS provider, so not OVH specific example here), and they have something now called AutoSSL doing something similar.<p>I haven&#x27;t really played with it yet, but I know it mentioned no way to revoke the certs. So felt a little half baked but it seems like a step in the right direction to move everything to SSL. Probably just a early iteration right now, so probably will improve over time.

...and what if you have a specific certificate pinned in your private clients for use of a private web service?
