Lets Encrypt Expiry Synology

My domain is: gjhitta.synology.me

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

Hi I hope someone can help me. I am getting Lets Encrypt emails telling me that my domain for synonyms is expiring, now in 7 days, when I log into my Synology and try nd renew it, it fails. I recently moved house and changed internet provider and since then it's all not working well on the Synology front and maybe all connected.

Here's the email I've received;

Hello,

Your certificate (or certificates) for the names listed below will expire in 7 days (on 2023-09-25). Please make sure to renew your certificate before then, or visitors to your web site will encounter errors.

We recommend renewing certificates automatically when they have a third of their total lifetime left. For Let's Encrypt's current 90-day certificates, that means renewing 30 days before expiration. See Integration Guide - Let's Encrypt for details.

gjhitta.synology.me

I hope you can help.

Thanks!

Did you set up port forwarding? Do you have IPv6 support?

Using the online tool Unbound DNS checker gave these results for DNS A record (i.e. the IPv4 Address) https://unboundtest.com/m/A/gjhitta.synology.me/UIVOTUXP
Just so we can all agree the present IPv4 advertised Address is 87.224.76.10

Your Ports 80 and 443 are filtered; of the Challenge Types - Let's Encrypt likely you are using HTTP-01 challenge which can only be done on port 80. Best Practice - Keep Port 80 Open

Also using the online tool Let's Debug yields these results https://letsdebug.net/gjhitta.synology.me/1617292
Especially note the second ERROR contains Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem).
