I've created a new tutorial to show how to quickly create a free TLS certificate based on IP address and use it within an OCI load balancer.

> **Note** If you have enabled the network traffic to your HTTPD server, and if it is running, **Backend sets health** shoudl be showing as **OK**. If not, check your networking and security lists.

15. Make a note of the public IP address of your load balancer, e.g., `130.61.69.66`

I understand, but this whole tutorial is based on the fact that i'm getting a cert for an IP address, so, to not include an IP address that can be tracked through the tutorial seems strange. The IP is ephemeral and will be dead once I kill the LB (which I will do once the tutorial is published.


3. Click on `New Certificate` to start the certificate generation wizard.

4. Enter the IP address of your load balancer in the **Domain Name** field, e.g., `130.61.69.66`.
