Yes I forgot to say it was for a know url already (https://friendpaste.com) on which I would like to add a .onion access so people don't have to go out of the tor network somehow. Having a cert working on that address would help to validate the access.

I will check with digicert if this is possible since they are already providing me a cert for this address.
