Fail to update certificate DNS Query Timeout

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 only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: rockfranky.dynvpn.de

I ran this command: certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/nextcloud -d franky.dynvpn.de

It produced this output:

Hello Bruce,
thanks for your quick reply. I saw that I typed the wrong URL. The correct one is:

but the result is the same. So, to me it then is an issue with my DnyDNS provider (TwoDns), isn´t it ?
regards
Frank

Yes, you need your DNS working first in order to get a certificate (as well as in order for people to be able to connect to your site).
