Issues updating certbot

Oh, yeah, Hostinger and wrong IPv6. We see that so often I have my own template for it. Osiris pointed you in the right direction. Maybe the extra bits below are further help.

Once you get your Certbot v1.16 working installing snap on Ubuntu should be easy. See: Certbot Instructions | Certbot Just follow the instructions carefully and test when you are done with sudo certbot renew --dry-run


You have both an IPv4 A record and an IPv6 AAAA record in your DNS

But, the IPv6 address points to a Hostinger service not your server. Hostinger creates this AAAA record automatically for new setups.

You need to update the AAAA address or remove it if you do not support IPv6.

Any client trying to use IPv6 will connect to that Hostinger service instead of your server.
Let's Encrypt favors IPv6 when an AAAA record is present.

See Hostinger article here: How to manage AAAA records | Hostinger Help Center
