When it asks YOUR name enter your domain name

Then go to name cheap or someting, buy an ssl certificate (kind of complicated, emails go back and forth). then give them the csr file. then they email you the certificate that you configure with nginx. I didn't have to do anything with my node server. Using the nginx proxy was good enough I guess
