Failed authorization procedure

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: forthnv.com

I ran this command: certbot --nginx

It produced this output:

Hi @caiuscosades, welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

You need a functional HTTP site before trying to secure it (via an HTTP authentication method).

LE can't reach your site:

Let's Debug can't reach your site:

And I can't get to your site either:

curl -Iki http://forthnv.com/
curl: (56) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

Thanks Rudy

Opening ports 80 and 443 fixed this issue.
