I’m seeing that ports 80 and 443 are both closed for bigcid10.ddns.net.

Hello @bigcid10

PORT    STATE    SERVICE
80/tcp  filtered http
443/tcp filtered https

You'll need to open some ports. LE can't reach your system to verify/issue...

I assume this shouldn't be wrong, but is that really your IP address? Could you double check?

yes,that’s current ip

I can’t open 80,and it doesn’t say anything about 443
di I need to open 443 as well?

Then something is blocking your port 80 and 443. Possibly even more, but I haven’t tested others (and I don’t know which of those are running any services).

my nas was using 443 for some app
I removed the rule

Port 80 is required for the http-01 challenge. Port 443 is only required if your port 80 redirects to HTTPS on port 443.

fixed it, nothing to do with port 80 or 443
I dumped the router firmware and defaulted the ddns and LE sections
it reinitialized after that and gave me another 3mths
2nd time this happened to me ,same fix, must be something to do with the merlin firmware
