Help

I am trying to request an SSL certificate for my website fitnessrows.com. I am running VPS hosting with vultr and my domain is linked from Godaddy. I tried requesting an SSL certificate using PUTTY but it said error most likely due to a firewall issue. I was advised that I need to open ports 80 or 443 inorder for that to work, any idea how I can do this on Windows 10?

Is your VPS running Windows 10? Because that's where you need to open those ports.

Port 80 (and 443 for HTTPS) are required anyway for a regular website to work.

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:

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):

Good point, Bruce.

@Kay13 Please continu in your previous thread linked by Bruce above. That's the same issue as you're having now. No need to complicate things by splitting the issue in two separate threads.

I'm closing this one :slight_smile:
