Re:Document reasoning to block DNS to 127.0.0.1 by jeroenhd on Tuesday June 20, 2023 @02:55AM (#36400595)
Sure you can get a certificate for those domains, but not the domains you don't own. If I can get a cert for localho.st, someone made a huge mistake.

You can set up a localhost redirect on your own domain no problem, and you can even use a local DNS server to make sure nobody can abuse your localhost redirect so your domain doesn't get filtered out by tools like these.

However, I assume someone using fbi.com because it happens to redirect to localhost doesn't own a domain (or can't be bothered to set up a redirect of their own).

For at least one of these tools / domains, local SSL is available. Details here: https://docs.lando.dev/core/v3/security.html
