Can’t connect to acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org from Singapore

I have two AWS servers in the Singapore region that cannot access acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org. They report the following errors:

$ openssl s_client -connect acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org:443 -showcerts
CONNECTED(00000003)

The IP addresses of the two servers are: 54.255.55.25 and 18.138.237.72. Are they blocked?

Welcome to the community @johnny3

I'll just repeat to you what I said to another Singapore AWS person ...

Does this problem continue? There are temp errors that can occur and I don't know of any outage. Your two posts may just be the first to discover the problem. But, would be helpful to know if it repeats. Thanks

@MikeMcQ Thank you for your reply. I just tested and the connection has been restored, although I still don't know the reason.
