Hello.
What I could suggest here is adding Nginx as a reverse proxy for your Node.js application. You can take a look at this tutorial here on how to setup the Nginx proxy for your Node application:
That way you will be able to install a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for your Nginx service. Note that you would need a domain name in order to be able to issue the Let’s Encrypt certificate.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
