I would very much be interested in those details though. I do not see
anybody being excluded from Let's Encrypt, not even countries under US
embargo (e.g., over 300000 sites in Iran are apparently using it
successfully).

Set up a subdomain like vpn.example.com, point it to the public IP, then
configure the VPN's internal DNS to resolve vpn.example.com to the VPN-
internal address instead, the /etc/hosts on the VPN server itself to resolve
it to 127.0.0.1, and the mirror server on port 443 (whereas port 80 is
reserved for certbot's builtin temporary (and world-readable) webserver with
the http-01 challenge) to accept connections only from the VPN and from
localhost and to use the Let's Encrypt certificate. Been there, done that
(not for a repository mirror though, my employer is small enough for that
not to be worthwhile). I assume that this approach should also work for a
physical LAN in lieu of the VPN.

I see. So splitting might be worthwhile then. Assuming someone will care
enough to actually maintain the code.
