Certification problems..dns problem?

Johnletsencrypt · August 26, 2018, 4:13pm

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: www.onderwegnaarmorgen.com

I ran this command: ```
sudo nextcloud.enable-https lets-encrypt


It produced this output:
Please enter your domain name(s) (space-separated): www.onderwegnaarmorgen.com

I use a dns from a vpn provider!! It gives a server in Australië. With IpLeak; dns adress- 1 server: 103.86.xx.xxx

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):ubuntu 18.04 lts

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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

Hi,

Can you please confirm that your domain has pointed to your server’s IPs?

Because when I tried to connect to your domain, it shows me a “trans IP” parking page.

Thank you

Johnletsencrypt · August 26, 2018, 7:24pm

I can´t conform that. But now I know that I can change that by the domain registration.
I have three IP-adresses:
Local from my computer
The externel IP from my router
The IP from the dns server, in Australië which I have got from my vpn provider. Which is different from my internetprovider.
Which one should I install by the domain name?
And which type should I use: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, etc?

Johnletsencrypt · August 26, 2018, 7:48pm

Additionaly!
The servernames from my internetprovider: https://www.xs4all.nl/klant/servers.htm

Johnletsencrypt · August 26, 2018, 8:42pm

and in the registration of the domainname I see: This I can full in.

DNS
DNSSEC ON
name TTL Type waarde (IP)
… … … …

And further on

Nameservers:
Primaire nameserver: …
Secondaire nameserver:…

What for data must I full in there?

JuergenAuer · August 26, 2018, 9:28pm

Hi @Johnletsencrypt

now you have two ip-addresses:

Name: onderwegnaarmorgen.com
Addresses: 103.86.96.100
82.161.205.205
Aliases: www.onderwegnaarmorgen.com

I have a timeout - website and ip-addresses. Has your server really two ip-addresses?

stevenzhu · August 26, 2018, 10:24pm

Hi,

Which one is your server’s IP address?
Is your server inside your home?

Thank you

Johnletsencrypt · August 27, 2018, 6:33am

I have the server installed on a computer inside my home.
The ip from my router extern is 82.161.205.205. My computer, where the server is installed, has another IP intern.
On who.is I get: https://who.is/dns/onderwegnaarmorgen.com
By the domain registration I have put the two IP’s under DNS , under waarde (IP). The IP 103.86.96.100 is from my vpn provider.

When I try to get a certificate, i get now the following:

Attempting to obtain certificates… error running certbot:

To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that
your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no
firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the
client. If you’re using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.

Johnletsencrypt · August 27, 2018, 10:11am

So, after some trying, I have the right install.
https://who.is/dns/onderwegnaarmorgen.com
But I can’t certificate. I think I must do a portforwarding in my router to the computer with the server.
Also port 80…forward (server)computer IP, which port?
port 443 …forward to (server)computer IP, which port?
Is that correct?
How must I do these portforwarding? I
And has these forwarding no consequencies for other computers of programms?
Thanks for your answers!

JuergenAuer · August 27, 2018, 10:52am

First you should clear your dns-settings. Use only the router ip, remove the second entry.

Then add a forward rule in your router, so that I can connect your webserver

http://www.onderwegnaarmorgen.com/

This is required that Letsencrypt is able to validate the domain.

Johnletsencrypt · August 27, 2018, 11:05am

I now only use my router IP. The other one is deleted.
Forwarding…Thats a problem for me, I don know how to do this on a safe way for the ports 80 and 443. Whitch ports do I need for the internservercomputer? And after the certification I can’t remove the portforwarding?

Johnletsencrypt · August 27, 2018, 12:03pm

Heb tijdelijk de poorten in de router open gezet. Certificering is gelukt. Bedankt allen!

JuergenAuer · August 27, 2018, 3:57pm

Which internal port you use? That depends on your other settings.

After the certification you can completely block your router, there is no permanent external access required.

JuergenAuer · August 27, 2018, 3:58pm

Yep, I see: Now you have a new certificate, created today.

https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates?cert_search_auth=&cert_search_cert=&cert_search=include_expired:false;include_subdomains:false;domain:www.onderwegnaarmorgen.com&lu=cert_search

So to renew the certificate, open your router, close it when done.

Johnletsencrypt · August 27, 2018, 7:47pm

I have closed port 80. But I must forward port 443, also open, and I must install a rule in ufw. This is to let nextcloud function wel as server. This should be safe?

JuergenAuer · August 27, 2018, 7:52pm

You can restrict your webserver, so that only /.well-known/acme-challenge/randomfilename is allowed per port 80.

So all other traffic is forbidden or redirected.

Johnletsencrypt · August 28, 2018, 6:42am

Hello JuergenAuer,
I see that de certificate expirered at 25 november 2015. Must I renew it then? Or is that going automatic?
What about the restriction: You can restrict your webserver, so that only /.well-known/acme-challenge/randomfilename is allowed per port 80.
How does this work? And what must I do?

And for open port 443 can I also build in restrictions? To make it safer?

Thanks!

JuergenAuer · August 28, 2018, 10:20am

Check your crontab if Certbot has created a job. The certificates are renewed after 60 days. But you have 90 days to do that.

I don't know enough about nextcloud. But it should be possible to create two rules:

http + /.well-known/acme-challenge/ -> load the file
other http -> Go to google

You don't need port 443 to create a Letsencrypt-certificate. If you have a redirect http -> https, remove that, if the path is /.well-known/acme-challenge/

Then Letsencrypt loads the file per http / port 80 - job is done.

So you can close port 443 completely.

Johnletsencrypt · August 28, 2018, 5:21pm

Thanks for your reactions!
443 is a https serverport for nextcloud. If I close this port, nextcloud does not function.

Is there a script to renew your certificate automatically?
