Issue with Lets Encrypt

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better.

My domain is: server1.hastehosting

I ran this command: ping acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org every command possible

It produced this output: nothing

My operating system is (include version): Centos 7.0 (cloud linux)

My web server is (include version): CPanel (Latest)

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: NA

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): cpanel

When I try to ping, I get no response, when I try to curl I get no response. When attempt to create an SSL, I get this…

Error issuing certificate
Failed to issue certificate
Error connecting to service: Get https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory: dial tcp 23.222.118.106:443: i/o timeout

Can someone please check and see if we are IPBanned? I am a hosting provider and would value some feedback, greatly appreciate it!

I do not believe there is IP based filtering

The fact you can’t ping or open up a telnet suggest there is something firewalling outbound connections

the servers seem fine and you resolved IP is fine

Thankyou for the feedback. Yes I am a hosting provider so you are correct it shouldnt be an issue. Since I provided the hostname, it wouldnt be difficult to ping the hostname to get the ip :wink: But I guess it would help if I provided the .com. I can confirm 100% that our firewall is not blocking the IP, and it seems to randomly happen. Our server IP is 172.93.236.90. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jake

Hello,
Is there any way to get staff involved to check if for some reason we are being IP banned? I checked with our datacenter as well and it appears we are being blocked by the server.

Do you have another Server to test the ping, not in your own IP-Range. For Example by another Provider.

What’s the output of a traceroute? traceroute -I acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org

With the tracereoute information you’ve provided, Akamai has been able to run several MTR queries from those specific Edge servers to your host ip and hostname.

When querying to the hostname:

It looks like a router is misconfigured when trying to access by ip. We’re still looking into this since it differs by resolving the hostname or the ip
