Warning

--insecure,-i option can be used to skip verification of the certificate chain and host name. However, this risks exposure to man-in-the-middle attacks and should not be used unless it is clear that there is no problem.

If this option is used, y/n must be returned for the next question.

$ tlc3 -d example.com,www.example.com -i
? [WARNING] insecure flag skips verification of the certificate chain and hostname. skip it? [y/N]

If automation is required, this restriction can be removed by setting the environment variable.

export TLC3_NON_INTERACTIVE=true
