IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The following errors were reported by the server:

    Domain: squackley.ddns.net
    Type: connection

    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
    entered correctly and the DNS A 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): apache version unknown on raspberry pi

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Raspian Jessie

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: no-ip.org

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

Where do you see that this is asking for an MX record? It’s saying that it can’t connect to your IP address on port 443. This most likely means that you’re on a residential Internet connection for which the ISP is blocking port 443.
