Furthermore it is set up automatically to renew the wildcard certificate on 3-month schedule, this ensures it is always up to date. Also it acts as a reverse proxy, working with pinhole that acts as a local DNS to ensure that locally hosted services are reachable by their host name e.g: you can access KH3’s IT documentation on any device on the KH3 local network by visiting [docs.office.kh3group.com](docs.office.kh3group.com)
