Hi @aruneshdutta

that's the reason you shouldn't use standalone, it's hard to debug.

Start a simple webserver on your domain and use another authenticator.

Are you on the right system?
Please show the output of:
curl -4 ifconfig.co

If your DNS records turn out to be correct and you're on the right system, this is probably a sign of a firewall intentionally blocking inbound connections on port 80. (You might not otherwise notice this behavior because your HTTPS connections are normally sent over port 443.)

I asked because I see a running web server there:

curl -Iki automation.minervatech.xyz/
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
connection: keep-alive
content-length: 0
location: https://www.blynk.cc
access-control-allow-origin: *

But it seems to be particular about the /.well-known/acme-challenge/ requests...
which go unanswered and then time-out.
So --standalone may not be the right approach.
Or it might be... we simply don't know enough about their system setup.

port 80 is kept open at AWS security group along with 443

That IP address looks different from the one that automation.minervatech.xyz points to. Do you know why that would be?

Are you not running Certbot on the same device where you intend to use the certificate?
