Timeout during connect

I am experiencing the same issue at debrog.net (also nginx). My certifcate expired on 8/29/2021, and I can't seem to get a new one:

Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for?


1: debrog.net
2: mail.debrog.net
3: www.mail.debrog.net
4: www.debrog.net


Select the appropriate numbers separated by commas and/or spaces, or leave input
blank to select all options shown (Enter 'c' to cancel):
Requesting a certificate for debrog.net and 3 more domains

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary nginx configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure the listed domains point to this nginx server and that it is accessible from the internet.

Some challenges have failed.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

You need a functional HTTP site before you can secure it (via HTTP authentication).

All those sites seem to have IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
LE prefers IPv6 when present.
Be sure that IPv6 works or remove the entries from DNS.

Thanks! I don't know what's up with vultr, but I moved over to kamatara and I'm back up and running.

So you went from:

Addresses: 2001:19f0:ac01:235:5400:3ff:fe48:e43
           45.32.140.216

To:
Address: 83.229.115.236

Just to "fix" this DNS AAAA "problem"?

[Kind of like using a sledgehammer to drive in a thumbtack - but whatever works!]
