Challenge failed for domain with "unauthorized error"

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: sede.catadau.es

I ran this command: certbot-auto certonly --debug-challenges --webroot --webroot-path /opt/apache-tomcat-9.0.10/webapps -d sede.catadau.es

It produced this output:

I have already discovered what’s the problem. My router’s NAT was incorrectly configured.
