Description

Unfortunatly Buypass is shutting down it's TLS/SSL certificate issuing service; https://www.buypass.no/produkter/tls-ssl-sertifikater/avvikler-utstedelse-av-tls-ssl-sertifikater (in Norwegian). This also includes it's ACME TLS/SSL certificate issuing; https://community.buypass.com/t/y4y130p (in English), quoting:

"Buypass Terminates Issuance of GoSSL Certificates
As of 15 October 2025, Buypass will no longer issue TLS/SSL Certificates, including GoSSL Certificates.
We will accept applications for GoSSL Certificates until 15 October 2025. Certificates issued prior to this date will remain valid until they expire or are revoked.
Revocation services (including revocation using the ACME protocol) and certificate status services (CRL and OCSP) will be operational for all Certificates throughout their validity period.
Be aware that ARI may not be reliable during the termination period as we are not able to issue renewals beyond 15 October 2025. This depends on the client-side implementation of ARI and should be evaluated.

Background for the Decision
There are several factors that together make it no longer commercially viable for Buypass to continue services related to TLS/SSL Certificates. The decision is based on a comprehensive assessment of the market situation and the regulatory framework for certificate issuance.

Detailed timeline
From 15 September 2025 it will no longer be possible to register new ACME Accounts.
From 15 October 2025 it will not be possible to apply for Certificates, but other ACME services (e.g. revocation) will still be operational. The ARI end point will be terminated.
By 15 April 2026 all GoSSL Certificates have expired, and the ACME service will be terminated."

Buypass ACME support which was added in https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9257 and fixed in https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/9340 should be removed.
