First look for a certificate provider who can provide a free SSL/TLS for Server certificate. I have searched and compiled a list of free certificates who can provide a free certificate for QNAP.
I will show you how to get the certificate and install these on the QNAP from startssl.com, with this you can get unlimited free renewals.
Please check the list below:
