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:
codename2221.tk
I ran this command:
certbot certonly --standalone -v
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to C:\Certbot\log\letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator standalone, Installer None
Please enter the domain name(s) you would like on your certificate (comma and/or
space separated) (Enter 'c' to cancel): codename2221.tk

Performing the following challenges:

Waiting for verification...
Challenge failed for domain codename2221.tk
http-01 challenge for codename2221.tk
Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: standalone). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: codename2221.tk
Type: unauthorized
Detail: 195.20.44.113: Invalid response from codename2221.tk "\n\n\n \n <titl"
Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to download the challenge files from the temporary standalone webserver started by Certbot on port 80. Ensure that the listed domains point to this machine and that it can accept inbound connections from the internet.
Cleaning up challenges
Some challenges have failed.

My web server is (include version):
a node js server running using npm start
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
windows 10
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
self
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):
yes
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
no
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): certbot 2.2.0
I dont know how to get my freenom domain correctly set up so it wont use a frame to hold the website which brakes certbot so, if anyone knows how to fix that, or how to get certbot to accept it anyways then it would be helpful!
which I would expect that Port 80 would only be active during the execution of that command.
Yet there is something on Port 80 (with connectivity issues) so I suspect some conflict.
I am still investigating.

Hi! Yes, the server does get errors when a lot of things are connected to it. I'm hosting this on my PC, just for a school thing. I dont believe that the errors shown there are because I closed port 80, its because my PC is dumb and slow, whats intresting is that it says im running nginx, which im not. I'm assuming this is because i've configured something weird in my domain settings
This is how I'm redirecting the domain to my ip, there might be some other way to do it in freenom like through the custom dns stuff but if you could im not sure how. Im working on trying to figure that out.
well i did something and now its redirecting to a 404 page of Freenom... huh
Okay, well it updated and its just complaining about a timeout now, which is weird because i can access it from my computer through the domain now, would this be a firewall issue or something
Hmm, I cant access it from my phone either using the ip or domain, even though I literally have the firewall turned off.
The code listens on every interface, so I don't know how this would happen.

Hmm, i think whats happening is my router is blocking the request because it thinks im trying to access its web interface externally, so it doesnt let the request go through, I'm checking to see if theres a way to fix that.
I can't find anything on this on the ddwrt forums which is my router software so I think im out of ideas.
Generally you would want to look for something like Port Forwarding or maybe DMZ,
and see if your router can change which Port it runs its own Web Interface on.
I tried the DMZ and it didnt do anything, not even trying to connect using a different port for the port forwarding works, the option to allow foreign computers is on, the port forwarding all looks correct, the logs on the router dont show any trace of an incoming connection. I would try to change the web interface port but it looks like my software version doesnt support it
