Hello!

When you click on 'Issue Certificate', you are only offered the option to create new certificates via a DNS provider. However, HTTP-based methods do exist.
Yes, you can change the method to HTTP for a certificate that has already been created by nginx-ui, for example, via the DNS method. Nevertheless, you cannot create a certificate without DNS.

Not in all cases do you have access to the DNS zone, sometimes a domain simply points to your proxy, but you require a certificate.
