My domain is: eveil.site

I ran this command: "le's debug" on a browser

It produced this output: [AAAANotWorking](https://letsdebug.net/eveil.site/3215239#AAAANotWorking-Error)

eveil.site has an AAAA (IPv6) record (2a01:e0a:af9:67f0:7387:ff83:dfae:c94c) but a test request to this address over port 80 did not succeed. Your web server must have at least one working IPv4 or IPv6 address. You should either ensure that validation requests to this domain succeed over IPv6, or remove its AAAA record.

My web server is (include version): apache 2.4.68

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): raspberrypios

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: self hosting

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): 4.0.0

You have to verify is the IP address in the DNS matching the IP address in the system? Please check is the firewall open for inbound access on port 80/443 for that IP address?

And ensure `Apache` is serving the correct HTTP content from that IPv6 address.

Thanks a lot for your replies.  
I've deleted the AAAA in dns. And i changed an entrie in website database. It's ok. I don't know if it's plenty secure without AAAA entrie. I've ran certbot script.  
Thanks again for your job.
