+## Custom Certificate Provision Function
+
+The `certProvisionFunction` feature has been implemented to allow users to provide their own certificate generation logic.
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+1. **Type Definition**: The function must return `Promise<TSmartProxyCertProvisionObject>` where:
+   - `TSmartProxyCertProvisionObject = plugins.tsclass.network.ICert | 'http01'`
+   - Return `'http01'` to fallback to Let's Encrypt
+   - Return a certificate object for custom certificates
+
+2. **Certificate Manager Changes**:
+   - Added `certProvisionFunction` property to CertificateManager
+   - Modified `provisionAcmeCertificate()` to check custom function first
+   - Custom certificates are stored with source type 'custom'
+   - Expiry date extraction currently defaults to 90 days
+
+3. **Configuration Options**:
+   - `certProvisionFunction`: The custom provision function
+   - `certProvisionFallbackToAcme`: Whether to fallback to ACME on error (default: true)
+
+4. **Usage Example**:
+```typescript
+new SmartProxy({
+  certProvisionFunction: async (domain: string) => {
+    if (domain === 'internal.example.com') {
+      return {
+        cert: customCert,
+        key: customKey,
+        ca: customCA
+      } as unknown as TSmartProxyCertProvisionObject;
+    }
+    return 'http01'; // Use Let's Encrypt
+  },
+  certProvisionFallbackToAcme: true
+})
+```
+
+5. **Testing Notes**:
+   - Type assertions through `unknown` are needed in tests due to strict interface typing
+   - Mock certificate objects work for testing but need proper type casting
+   - The actual certificate parsing for expiry dates would need a proper X.509 parser
+
+### Future Improvements
+
+1. Implement proper certificate expiry date extraction using X.509 parsing
+2. Add support for returning expiry date with custom certificates
+3. Consider adding validation for custom certificate format
+4. Add events/hooks for certificate provisioning lifecycle

+### Custom Certificate Provision Function
+
+SmartProxy supports a custom certificate provision function that allows you to provide your own certificate generation logic while maintaining compatibility with Let's Encrypt:
+
+```typescript
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  certProvisionFunction: async (domain: string): Promise<TSmartProxyCertProvisionObject> => {
+    // Option 1: Return a custom certificate
+    if (domain === 'internal.example.com') {
+      return {
+        cert: customCertPEM,
+        key: customKeyPEM,
+        ca: customCAPEM       // Optional CA chain
+      };
+    }
+    
+    // Option 2: Fallback to Let's Encrypt
+    return 'http01';
+  },
+  
+  // Control fallback behavior when custom provision fails
+  certProvisionFallbackToAcme: true,  // Default: true
+  
+  routes: [...]
+});
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Called for any route with `certificate: 'auto'`
+- Return custom certificate object or `'http01'` to use Let's Encrypt
+- Participates in automatic renewal cycle (checked every 12 hours)
+- Custom certificates stored with source type 'custom' for tracking
+
+**Configuration Options:**
+- `certProvisionFunction`: Async function that receives domain and returns certificate or 'http01'
+- `certProvisionFallbackToAcme`: Whether to fallback to Let's Encrypt if custom provision fails (default: true)
+
+**Advanced Example with Certificate Manager:**
+
+```typescript
+const certManager = new MyCertificateManager();
+
+const proxy = new SmartProxy({
+  certProvisionFunction: async (domain: string) => {
+    try {
+      // Check if we have a custom certificate for this domain
+      if (await certManager.hasCustomCert(domain)) {
+        const cert = await certManager.getCertificate(domain);
+        return {
+          cert: cert.certificate,
+          key: cert.privateKey,
+          ca: cert.chain
+        };
+      }
+      
+      // Use Let's Encrypt for public domains
+      if (domain.endsWith('.example.com')) {
+        return 'http01';
+      }
+      
+      // Generate self-signed for internal domains
+      if (domain.endsWith('.internal')) {
+        const selfSigned = await certManager.generateSelfSigned(domain);
+        return {
+          cert: selfSigned.cert,
+          key: selfSigned.key,
+          ca: ''
+        };
+      }
+      
+      // Default to Let's Encrypt
+      return 'http01';
+    } catch (error) {
+      console.error(`Certificate provision failed for ${domain}:`, error);
+      // Will fallback to Let's Encrypt if certProvisionFallbackToAcme is true
+      throw error;
+    }
+  },
+  
+  certProvisionFallbackToAcme: true,
+  
+  routes: [
+    // Routes that use automatic certificates
+    {
+      match: { ports: 443, domains: ['app.example.com', '*.internal'] },
+      action: {
+        type: 'forward',
+        target: { host: 'localhost', port: 8080 },
+        tls: { mode: 'terminate', certificate: 'auto' }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+### Certificate Events
 
 Listen for certificate events via EventEmitter:
 - **SmartProxy**:
   - `certificate` (domain, publicKey, privateKey, expiryDate, source, isRenewal)
   - Events from CertManager are propagated
 
-Provide a `certProvisionFunction(domain)` in SmartProxy settings to supply static certs or return `'http01'`.
+```typescript
+proxy.on('certificate', (domain, cert, key, expiryDate, source, isRenewal) => {
+  console.log(`Certificate ${isRenewal ? 'renewed' : 'provisioned'} for ${domain}`);
+  console.log(`Source: ${source}`); // 'acme', 'static', or 'custom'
+  console.log(`Expires: ${expiryDate}`);
+});
+```
