when i executed the command for standalone certificate generation, got this error:
An unexpected error occurred:
requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='supporters.eff.org', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=60)
not sure why its trying to fetch supporters.eff.org on 443.
I have checked my machine and it allows outgoing for all the ports..and incoming it allows on 80 and 443..
After this happened, i can see the certificates have been generated but they are linked onto the ubuntu to files inside the archive subfolder under /etc/letsencrypt/..
also now whenever i try to run certificate re-generation(selecting option 2 when prompted), i get the same error..
Certbot would have prompted you a question that's something like this:
Would you be willing, once your first certificate is successfully issued, to
share your email address with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a founding
partner of the Let's Encrypt project and the non-profit organization that
develops Certbot? We'd like to send you email about our work encrypting the web
EFF news, campaigns, and ways to support digital freedom.
The call to supporters.eff.org is how that email subscription is done. It appears to me that site might be down right now. This shouldn't interfere with certificate issuance, however, as it happens after the cert is issued.
