I ran this command: certbot-auto renew
It produced this output:

===================
My situation is: I’m trying to renew the certificates, but my server now happens to be in a DMZ with a policy that any outbound web traffic must go through a webproxy.
(That wasn’t the case when the certificate was successfully issued a couple months ago, but things change…)
Is there a way to force certbot-auto (and whatever it’s calling to do the job) to go through the proxy server?
I already have export http_proxy=... in my rc.local, and I thought that should work, but I’m getting the output I provided above. Wget and apt work through the proxy alright.
