Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

I ran this command:
certbot renew --dry-run

It produced this output:

    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was

    your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no
    firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the
    client. If you’re using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
    that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.

Interesting...

Can you please run this command

certbot certifcates

And post the results

Cheers

Trying to connect to http://e3.dtadata.com/ times out for me too.

Is there a firewall blocking port 80?

Can you connect to it?

From other ISPs?

I can’t even ping your IP, but I can access other IPs on the same /24, so it seems like it’s probably a firewall issue.
