Acme says VerifyError:Timeout even though port 443 is open

Help
#1

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: smtp.jhmg.net

I ran this command: acme.sh --issue --debug --test -d smtp.jhmg.net --alpn

It produced this output:

NOTE: Even though the debug trace says it started the TLS server with

openssl s_server -www -cert /root/.acme.sh/smtp.jhmg.net/tls.validation.cert  -key /root/.acme.sh/smtp.jhmg.net/tls.validation.key  -accept 443 -alpn acme-tls/1

I ran netstat -nat several times during this period and never saw an open port 443. This is running as root. Also, I verified that incoming traffic is received on 443, with netcat (nc).

My web server is (include version): None

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): CentOS 6

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): YES

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): NO

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): acme.sh 2.8.6

#2

The port looks filtered to me. Did you try connecting from an external host, or from the same server you were testing?

Check the firewall rules on your Digital Ocean control panel.

Review any iptables rules on the server:

sudo iptables-save

You were right I had the wrong port open in iptables.

HOWEVER, I’ve fixed that and confirmed that I startup a nc server on 443 and connect to it with nc from an external host. Now I get the following (from the s_server startup):

Run with --debug 2.

The openssl s_server process is crashing, but we can’t see why because acme.sh is suppressing the output.

The one obvious reason it would crash is if something was already bound to 443.

#5

I fear my openssl may be too old on CentOS 6:

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013

The error is

unknown option -alpn

I will try with port 80 and HTTP

That was the issue, verification worked on port 80

Thanks
