So I have managed to set up my content server over the internet with passwords as per the instructions HERE. I had to enable port forwarding on my router (iiNet) and also enable port forwarding with my provider and then everything was fine.

It mentions in the calibre manual that you should enable HTTPS on the content server for maximum security. How do you do this? I know I need to put something into Preferences > Sharing over the net > Advanced but not sure where and how to get the path to the HTTPS certificate. I'm using Chrome as my browser. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Inukami
