Please Help to unblock my ip

My domain is: fiber.gozubuyukoglu.com

I ran this command: Sophos UTM (renew)
But tried with 3 different UTM s , when I use first ISP IP1:46.196.136.250 or ISP1 IP2:46.196.136.46 everything is fine. I can succesfully create/renew certificates.
However when I use ISP2 IP1:31.223.32.179 , while using this ISP2 I couldnt create or renew any certificates.

It produced this output:

Your IP is most likely not blocked, it's more likely that fiber.gozubuyukoglu.com just doesn't accept http (TCP port 80) challenges.

It is accepting while creating or renewing certificates. This is automatically done by Sophos UTM.

46.196.136.46 this is another sophos fw with a public ip but dynamic, which is also not serving anything from 80 but can create or renew certificates.

The Let's Encrypt API Server can block IPs but this is rare. Yours is not blocked.

If your IP was blocked it would not get any response from the Let's Encrypt API Server. The above line in your log shows you do get a response so you are not blocked.

This error says the Let's Encrypt validation server (not the same as the API Server) timed out when trying its HTTP request to validate your domain.

You should review all the comms setting differences between this one and the other that works. Check port 80 configuration and routing from the outermost edge of your connection to the public internet to this device.

I don't know Sophos at all so cannot give specific advice on this. It probably has logs so you should check those. It can be difficult to debug systems that don't listen on port 80 except during the challenge.

Update:
From my own test server I reach an Apache server for both HTTP and HTTPS. Perhaps you have certain IPs blocked preventing requests. You should check any such firewall settings.

Found a temporary solution ,
on Sophos UTM
modified "/var/storage/chroot-reverseproxy/usr/dehydrated/conf/config" file
changed #IP_VERSION= to IP_VERSION=6 , so after now the system is updating certificated via only checking ipv6 (which has no blocking by anybody)

The Let's Encrypt validation servers will use IPv6 first if you have an AAAA record in your DNS. If you don't block any IPv6 that is probably why it now succeeds.

You must have also added the AAAA record along with the change you described in Sophos. There was not an AAAA record in your DNS when you first posted here. We know this from the Verbose results of the Let's Debug test results.

The Let's Encrypt API server supports IPv4 and IPv6 whichever your client chooses to use. Accessing the API server was never a problem for you (in this thread).

I explain all this to help you understand what is happening. Hopefully this will lead to a more reliable solution for you.

Hi, @Arda,

I'm afraid I have bad news for you. You tried to post a followup to this thread that contained a copy of your private key, embedded in more of your Sophos UTM log output.

You need to stop using this private key, change it, and immediately replace any certificates that have used it. We will be revoking all such certificates within 24 hours. Once a private key has been shared over the Internet (even though your post was flagged and held for review), it is unsafe to use, and our compliance guidelines require us to block it.

I'm so sorry about this inconvenience. You had no reason to expect this would happen; I am very surprised that Sophos writes private key material to their logs. I'll reach out to them about this and request a fix to ensure it cannot happen again.

Thank you , I wil regenerate it ASAP.

I suspect my ISP is blocking that verification servers of yours...

should I also renew my letsencrypt account ?

Sophos is not normally write priv to logs but unfortunately I opened debug mode via "cc set ca letsencrypt debug 1" for details

You might as well. I don't think the compromised key was used as your account key, just for a certificate, but it's harmless to replace your account and it would be the safest thing to do.

Ok, I think so but anyway maybe I also shared some account info...

Changed all of them and renewed certificates, they(old) should be revoked soon.

You might have inside information for this specific information, but for other people finding this thread some other time: if your account has rate limit exemptions coupled to it, you probably shouldn't replace your account itself, but only do an account key rollover, so that you'll retain your rate limit override(s).
That said, while account key rollovers are part of the ACME specifications, not every ACME client supports this unfortunately.

Speaking of the Rate Limits: testing and debugging are best done using the Staging Environment.

FYI -

"The Registered Domain (gozubuyukoglu.com) has used 32 of 50 weekly certificates."

FWIW, Sophos has acknowledged the issue, so I expect they'll fix it in an upcoming release.
