DNS Problem: NXDOMAIN looking for a domain

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.

Situation: I am hosting my own secure nodes for crypto currency, if this is not allowed then let me know and I will remove it from my process. If it is ok, then please help. This is set up on a xenserver stack. Firewall is a Sonicwall 2400’s in HA, Ubuntu firewall is allowing ports 80 and 443 through. These are External IPv6 ONLY VM’s. they do have a second nic that is on an internal management network that is ipv4. Also I have added an A record for this domain, but there is no IPv4 address on this VM so I tried pointing it at a firewall. That did not work. I do not see how to add an A record for an IPv6 address, everything I have read says you don’t.
Thanks in advance.

My domain is: node215.idahodigitalholdings.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly -n --agree-tos --register-unsafely-without-email --standalone -d $FQDN

It produced this output: Cleaning up challenges

My web server is (include version): 2001550, Horizen Secure Node

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 16.04, updated today

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Self, Xenserver Stack

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): root access to vm.

Hi,

Sorry for the late response, could you please provide us a few more details?

  1. Does your node allow traffic to outside domains / servers unrestricted? (Since this is saying that they can’t connect to Let’s Encrypt endpoints)
  2. Do you mind to share us a few outputs:
    curl -vvvvv https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/
    dig acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org
    traceroute acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org

Thank you

Thank you for the reply! Server access is unrestricted as far as I can tell. I am the admin and I control the firewalls. :slightly_smiling_face: I included the current ipv4 test, but these servers are normally ipv6 only. Both routs fail. The ipv6 is going through an he.net tunnel. Also this failed after several were successful.

Website has locked me out do to the captures having url’s in them. Please delete this thread. Issue was not to do with Certbot or LetsEncrypt. It was an mtu mismatch.
Thanks
