How to use manual config Let's Encrypt in sslforfree.com?

Hello everyone,
I use a free hosting in Byethost, it allows me to add key, csr, and certificate manually in its cpanel. I would like to use Let’s Encrypt to get its free certificate because I can’t afford paid ssl and hosting for right now.

I tried to use three of domain verification types in sslforfree.com already, none of them works.

My domain is:
riksa.or.id (this is a community service web that I am working on)

I use a manual verification by uploading a file at .well-known/acme-challenge, it was actually works, but when I want to get the certificate, it produced this output:

Domain “relawan.riksa.or.id” challenge3 failed. Response from “https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/challenge/qJTcsQwjVvg1wGWeuLrcqzRE5g74BPnpHU7RMyoU2KA/2730065795” was: { “type”: “http-01”, “status”: “invalid”, “error”: { “type”: “urn:acme:error:unauthorized”, “detail”: “Invalid response from http://relawan.riksa.or.id/.well-known/acme-challenge/omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7_RXUGPtupr3Yu70: “\u003chtml\u003e\u003cbody\u003e\u003cscript type=“text/javascript” src=”/aes.js” \u003e\u003c/script\u003e\u003cscript\u003efunction toNumbers(d){var e=[];d.replace(/(…)/g,func"", “status”: 403 }, “uri”: “https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/challenge/qJTcsQwjVvg1wGWeuLrcqzRE5g74BPnpHU7RMyoU2KA/2730065795”, “token”: “omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7_RXUGPtupr3Yu70”, “keyAuthorization”: “omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7_RXUGPtupr3Yu70.DOUh9huHS0NML4EVWLumDE_XTScco8aRfqYU_zj9TeM”, “validationRecord”: [ { “url”: “http://relawan.riksa.or.id/.well-known/acme-challenge/omArxif0wUe8Vo9lHgsEuJcMvaM7_RXUGPtupr3Yu70”, “hostname”: “relawan.riksa.or.id”, “port”: “80”, “addressesResolved”: [ “185.27.134.150” ], “addressUsed”: “185.27.134.150”, “addressesTried”: [] } ] }

Does anyone can help me on this? Thank you.

The website has some sort of “security” configuration. Your web browser gets the real file, the Let’s Encrypt validator gets a “checking your browser” HTML page, and one try I made got a 403 Forbidden error.

For example, here’s someone else with a similar issue:

I’m not sure what, if anything, you can do. Adjust the web server configuration, if possible, or ask your hosting company. :sweat:
