Suddenly Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem) for www subdomain

FEJIDIF, we are exactly at the same point, but ... I just received another IONOS reply redirecting me to this plesk post.

And seem that work's!!!

It's important to make the two steps...

  1. Remove .well-known directory.
  2. Temporary disable the option Permanent SEO-safe 301 redirect from HTTP to HTTPS
  3. Disable custom redirect rules

I think the step 3 (Disable custom redirect rules) is the reason why sometimes (or some domains) the cert renew works only with the step 2 (what you write before).

My .httaccess file (auto generated by prestashop in this example)...
