Do you need to restart IIS after changing certificate?

Use this procedure when you need to add or replace the SSL certificate for Insight. At the end of this procedure, you will need to restart the server, so you should perform this procedure during a time of low user activity.

What's the problem with using self-signed SSL certificates?

Not trusted by browsers and users Self-signed SSL certificates are not trusted by browsers, because they are generated by your servers, and not validated by trusted CAs, like Cloudflare and Go Daddy.

Just thought I'd add to this. You can stop Skype from running on port 80/443 so no need to close it.

Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection - Uncheck "Use port 80 and 433 as alternatives for incoming messages"
