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: rekishinet.net

I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache -d rekishinet.net

It produced this output: Client with the currently selected authenticator does not support any combination of challenges that will satisfy the CA.

My web server is (include version): apache2

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Debian 9

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: DNS is google domains

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): using cli for apache, control panel for wordpress site on it

Hi @rekishi,

Please see

Even after this, the error is that certbot times out when testing using http-01 with this error

...which is a completely unrelated issue. Your server doesn't appear to be accessible via port 80. Either there isn't a web server listening on that port, you have port 80 blocked, or your ISP has port 80 blocked.

So us home-hosting users are just SOL for using certbot anymore?

Not all ISPs block port 80, and some that do will allow you to request that it be unblocked.

There is also a DNS challenge method available where you can get a certificate by making changes to your DNS zone rather than by receiving an inbound connection on port 80.
