This is a stub. <a href='https://github.com/freecodecamp/guides/tree/master/src/pages/developer-tools/certbot/index.md' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Help our community expand it</a>. Certbot is a client for [Let's Encrypt](https://guide.freecodecamp.org/developer-tools/lets-encrypt), created by the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation). It allows users to create and automatically renew SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt. A Let's Encrypt certificate can last 90 days so Certbot will automatically fetch a new cert before the old ones expires.
