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: denisland.cf but im not home so i use localtunnel so something like site.loca.lt

I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Please enter the domain name(s) you would like on your certificate (comma and/or
space separated) (Enter 'c' to cancel): *.loca.lt denisland.cf *.denisland.cf
Requesting a certificate for *.loca.lt and 2 more domains

Hi @Denisbg2011game, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

You can't use the --apache authenticator for wildcard certificates; They require a DNS authenticator [plugin].

Do you require wildcard certs?
