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. crt.sh | 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:
johchat.online
I ran this command:
certbot", "certonly", "--nginx", "-d", "johchat.online", "-n", "--agree-tos", "--email", "darkjake007@gmail.com"
It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):
ubuntu server 23.10
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
ubuntu server 23.10
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):
certbot 1.21.0
I have ensured there server is on DMZ while running this prior to port forwarding, I have also done port forwarding just in case, the domain is certainly pointing to the right area I have no idea why this is erroring out. I have also switched off the ufw temporarily with no such luck. I am not running an external firewall either just yet (need to hook it up, another task for later)
