Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)

Help
1

I’ve already tried a lot:

There is no firewall running.
Port forwarding for tcp-ports 80 und 443 is activated on my router.

I suspect two possible problems:

  1. I use a Speedport Pro from Telekom (Hybrid DSL + LTE).
  2. Strict configuration in .htaccess for Nextcloud.
  3. DynDNS-Problems. I use dynv6. There is only a AAAA-record.

My domain is:
guckuck.dynv6.net

I ran this command:
certbot renew

It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/guckuck.dynv6.net.conf

    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
    entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
    contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that
    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.

My web server is (include version):
nginx/1.18.0

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
PRETTY_NAME=“Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid”

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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):

Hi @guckuck

there is a check of your domain, ~~45 minutes old - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=guckuck.dynv6.net

There you see the problem.

Ipv4 answers, but ipv6 has a timeout.

Checking your domain Letsencrypt prefers ipv6, so that's critical.

  • Fix your ipv6 (or)
  • remove the ipv6 AAAA record

PS: Using my webserver I can trace my current local ipv6:

tracert 2003:e9:efff:2c98:f2b0:14ff:fe0e:fe30

The same with your address - no answer:

Thank you for your very fast response.

After searching since hours I think I have found the problem: The telekom-router (Speedport Pro) won’t allow ipv6 traffic from external to internal. And it seams to be not possible to deactive ipv6.

I deleted the AAAA-Record at the dyndns-provider. I also deactivated ipv6 on my Raspberry Pi.

But it is not possible to renew the certificate. Now I get the following error:

There

is your error. Change that.

Can you give me another hint? Please. :slight_smile:

So, I did it.

In den Config for my Nextcloud I added the following lines:
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default

location ~ ^/.well-known/acme-challenge/* {
        allow all;
}

Thanks for your help.
