A few days ago I used CERTBOT to install SSL on my website which is running on APACHE2 on my Raspberry Pi (Debian 10). After the process has finished, I found that I could no longer access my website with my domain (registered at Godaddy.com) which says “ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED”. Strangely, I could still access the website with my public IP address.
Since then I have been desperately looking for a solution online for more than 12+ hours yet I still could not find a solution. Today I reset my home router, re-installed my Raspberry Pi and still I am facing the same issue…
Some more information:
-
My Godaddy account has an “A” record and Host “@” that points to my IP address.
-
My router now forward both 80 and 443.

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.
