Attempting to renew cert / produced an unexpected error: Failed authorization procedure

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: https://cloud.etbvandebeek.nl

I ran this command: sudo certbot renew --dry-run, sudo certbot --apache

It produced this output:
sudo certbot renew --dry-run

Hi @wpp

your port 80 doesn't answer ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=cloud.etbvandebeek.nl ):

Is there a firewall that blocks? Is port 80 configured?

If you want to use http-01 validation, an open port 80 is required.

@JuergenAuer Thats weird because i can telnet to port 80 from my local machine
