PayPal + RESTful API + WebHooks + self-signed certificates

I am working with the REST API for PayPal and I can receive processing, returns, etc. no problem. But I have a problem with webcams.

I have a webhook configured in the sandbox and it never puts the information in the web host url (it doesn’t even try according to the access logs).

Since wbehooks requires https, I was wondering if there is a problem using self-signed certificates using webhooks? The only thing I can think of is to prevent PayPal from accessing a URL that does not contain a PayPal sandbox is a bug (I know that NEVER happens). I can get IPN to work with self-signed, but iirc SSL is not a requirement for IPN.

HELP PLEASE ...

Hey, this is Avi from PayPal. Self-signed certificates should not work on websites, if you want to test another endpoint, you can use something like ngrok to test it locally. Otherwise, it would be useful to know the debug identifier received from PayPal to call the payment execution. There are currently some issues with Sandbox website maintenance that can contribute to this, and they are actively working.
