You can also get a completely free 3 year cert from startcom if you don't want to set up LE.

The certificates they provide are quite short lived (90 days).
You can generate a certificate manually but you would be better off setting up the ACME client to renew the certificates automatically.

No problems so far.

From the site;

Along with the challenges, the Let’s Encrypt CA also provides a nonce that the agent must sign with its private key pair to prove that it controls the key pair.

Bit unfortunate terminology.....
