https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/issues/131
https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/pull/113
Hopefully Filippo revisits this now that it's broadly supported.

How to configure an Ethernet connection between iPad and RaspberryPi with USB-C
mkcert can help with this! https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert
As one-time-setup you’ll need to serve the ROOTCA.pem from the Pi and download and install it on the iPad, but once you’ve done this once, any certs you generate on the Pi will be accepted by the iPad.
mkcert has enabled so many crazy setups and workflows for me over the years, it’s truly fantastic.
