-have to use [Let's Encrypt](#lets-encrypt) instead. See the [FAQ](./FAQ.md#blank-screen-on-ipad).

+## How to access code-server with a self signed certificate on iPad?
+
+Accessing a self signed certificate on iPad isn't as easy as accepting through all
+the security warnings. Safari will prevent WebSocket connections unless the certificate
+is installed as a profile on the device.
+
+The below assumes you are using the self signed certificate that code-server
+generates for you. If not, that's fine but you'll have to make sure your certificate
+abides by the following guidelines from Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210176
+
+**note**: Another undocumented requirement we noticed is that the certificate has to have `basicConstraints=CA:true`.
+
+The following instructions assume you have code-server installed and running
+with a self signed certificate. If not, please first go through [./guide.md](./guide.md)!
+
+**warning**: Your iPad must access code-server via a domain name. It could be local
+DNS like `mymacbookpro.local` but it must be a domain name. Otherwise Safari will
+refuse to allow WebSockets to connect.
+
+1. Your certificate **must** have a subject alt name that matches the hostname
+   at which you will access code-server from your iPad. You can pass this to code-server
+   so that it generates the certificate correctly with `--cert-host`.
+2. Share your self signed certificate with the iPad.
+   - code-server will print the location of the certificate it has generated in the logs.
+
+```
+[2020-10-30T08:55:45.139Z] info    - Using generated certificate and key for HTTPS: ~/.local/share/code-server/mymbp_local.crt
+```
+
+- You can mail it to yourself or if you have a Mac, it's easiest to just Airdrop to the iPad.
+
+3. When opening the `*.crt` file, you'll be prompted to go into settings to install.
+4. Go to `Settings -> General -> Profile`, select the profile and then hit `Install`.
+   - It should say the profile is verified.
+5. Go to `Settings -> About -> Certificate Trust Settings` and enable full trust for
+   the certificate.
+6. Now you can access code-server! 🍻
