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: dendietcontrung.net

I ran this command: /opt/letsencrypt/certbot-auto certonly –standalone

It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator standalone, Installer None
An unexpected error occurred:

Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.

Is the server's DNS resolver working?

If you run "dig acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org" or "dig www.google.com", what's the output?

That’s strange.

What happens if you try “dig acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org” several times, and:

dig eff.org
dig golang.org
dig letsencrypt.org
dig mozilla.org

Hi @luongtienltc

looks like your local dns is buggy. May be a problem of your configuration, may be a problem of your hoster.

Do you have an old, now wrong hosts - entry?

Perhaps add

23.63.149.194 acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org
2a02:26f0:fc:290::3a8e: acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org

in your hosts file.
