Hi @oermolaev

@oermolaev

My domain is: mail.profilaktika.net

your port 80 doesn't answer ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=mail.profilaktika.net ):

Domainname	Http-Status	redirect	Sec.	G
• http://mail.profilaktika.net/
217.175.39.45	-14		10.030	T
Timeout - The operation has timed out

217.175.39.45	-14		10.030	T
Timeout - The operation has timed out

If you want to use http-01 validation, an open port 80 and a webserver is required. So a http status 404 - not found should be the answer checking a not existing file in /.well-known/acme-challenge.
