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 …

To automate the DNS Challenge you need API access to the public DNS servers. Certbot has support for "DNS Made Easy" but I don't think that is the same as your "EasyDNS". Another popular ACME Client does have support for EasyDNS. You might consider that acme.sh/dnsapi/dns_easydns.sh at master · a…

What exactly is the reason that you need the dns-01 challenge? I see your hostnames have a public IP address (AT&T), but aren't reachable on port 80 nor 443. Is that the reason? Could you make the server available on TCP port 80 for the http-01 challenge? If lego supports EasyDNS than the certbot-…

Everything on port 80 and 443 is being forwarded to nginx at the firewall. It used to work fine that way. Thanks for the tip about dns-multi. It'd likely have taken a lot of trial and error figuring out that plugin was the one to use. I'm going to proceed using that plugin and see how it goes. Tha…

I am no EasyDNS expert (barely know it) but in general you should consider the security of the token or key used for the DNS API. These auth tokens / keys on some DNS systems grant very wide privileges. On others they can be scoped very narrow. You should review the scope for EasyDNS and take sui…

Where does one find a.) the ".lego" subdirectory and b.) the values for the API_TOKEN, etc. variables referred to in the Lego documentation. Granted, it's been a long time since I first set up Certbot but I sure don't recall having to jump through this many hoops to get it installed the first time. …

[image] rnturner: Where does one find a.) the ".lego" subdirectory It will be automatically created in whatever directory you're currently in when running the lego run command (the "current working directory"). But if you'd use the certbot-dns-multi Certbot plugin, you don't have to run the l…

Sorry but that page makes little to no sense. A lot of prior background seems to be needed to the point of making the pages meaningless. I'm not a REST programmer so when things tell me I need access to the innards of a REST API, I'm lost. As I said earlier: this wasn't anywhere nearly so comple…

Not sure which page you're looking at, but I'm pretty sure it's not the page I linked, because that one doesn't mention anything about any REST API? If you mean EasyDNS :: Let’s Encrypt client and ACME library written in Go. then you can probably ignore the whole "Additional Configuration" swction …
