I know that I can simply make my own private certificate authority that only I and my family trust. But is there some public provider like letsencrypt that is in a free-er part of the world than the US?

Yeah, that's what I meant. An unlimited number of 90 day certs, automatically renewable through ACME. That's what Let's Encrypt offers and that's what I'd need in another cert provider.

It's proven then: Letsencrypt is bigger than anything any European even for profit company has to offer.
