About
A small tool with a stubborn standard.
WAMP SSL Automator exists for one reason: trusted local HTTPS should take a click, not an afternoon. Everything about it follows from that.
Why it exists
Every developer on WampServer hits the same wall. Modern web features assume HTTPS, self-signed certificates trigger a red warning screen, and the manual fix — a local CA, the right certificate profile, an Apache vhost, the hosts file, a careful restart — is fiddly enough that most people give up and click through the warnings forever.
This tool does that whole job correctly, in one click, with backups and an automatic rollback so a wrong move can’t take your environment offline. It is the tool its author wanted to exist, built once, properly, for everyone who has the same problem.
About the maker
WAMP SSL Automator is built and maintained by Peter Bamuhigire — known online as Tech Guy Peter. He is a software and web developer whose day-to-day work spans cloud systems, mobile apps, ERP platforms and custom software, alongside consulting for teams who need something built properly.
This tool is a good window into how he works: take a genuinely annoying problem, understand it down to the certificate extensions, and ship something that is careful where it counts — validate before you commit, back up before you change, prove the result instead of assuming it. The boring parts are treated as the important parts, because they are.
Works across
- Cloud systems

Open source, and free, forever
WAMP SSL Automator is released under the MIT licence. You can use it at work or at home, read every line of what it does, fork it, improve it, and send those improvements back. There is no paid tier, no “pro” version, and nothing to unlock.
It is built and maintained in the open precisely because it touches sensitive parts of your system — your certificate store and your server config. You shouldn’t have to trust a black box for that. You can read exactly what it does, and contributions, bug reports and feature ideas are all welcome.
