Good morning, this morning I presented a problem with my DNS hosting service. When I finally manage to access my page it gives me the message that the certificate was removed. I checked the iis and the certificates were there, I don't understand what is happening, hopefully someone can help me

My domain is: [www.laprensatachira.com](http://www.laprensatachira.com)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): windows server 2012 r2

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: google cloud

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): yes

The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you're using Certbot): win-acme 2.20

Likely some sort of HACK.  
Have you checked it for unauthorized changes?  
Can you restore it to an earlier (working) state/date?  
Have you rebooted the server?

Yeah, something isn't allowing connections on port 443. I don't know enough about IIS/8.5 to advise but thought this might be helpful anyway

Have you checked the bindings and such for IIS? Is there any new firewall that could be blocking port 443?

```plaintext
HTTP (port 80) is normal
curl -I http://laprensatachira.com
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: https://laprensatachira.com/
Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.5

HTTPS (port 443) cannot connect
curl -I https://laprensatachira.com
curl: (35) OpenSSL SSL_connect: Connection reset by peer in connection to laprensatachira.com:443

```

I already discovered the problem, my partner, in a panic because he couldn't renew the certificate, deleted it and tried to create a new one... in addition to dnsexit, it didn't help; After generating it, he dont link the new certificate to the website... thanks anyway for your help
