Unable to access acmev02 from a specific ip address

My domain is: email.bidvest.cz

I ran this command: curl -ikL https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

It produced this output: curl: (35) Network file descriptor is not connected

My web server is (include version): Icewarp 12.2.1.1 (mail server with integrated webmail)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: N/A

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): Icewarp Remote Console

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): N/A

I am unable to renew / issue a new certificate from a specific server ( ip address ):

curl http://whatismyip.akamai.com/
Returns:
89.24.108.86

nslookup acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org
Returns:
Server: 10.10.1.1
Address: 10.10.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org canonical name = prod.api.letsencrypt.org.
prod.api.letsencrypt.org canonical name = ca80a1adb12a4fbdac5ffcbc944e9a61.pacloudflare.com.

In the Icewarp log is only this:

Certification [00007F2FBA810700] 12:43:15 >>> https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

When i try traceroute from the server:
[root@mailsrv01 ~]# traceroute acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org

So it does look like Cloudflare is blocking my connection somewhere on the way. Is it possbile, and if so, how do i resolve this issue?

Thanks for Your reply

your dns resolver looks broken. class 10.0.0.0/8 is for private networks. (i am not used to nslookup)

Hi @9peppe

that's not a problem. That's the local server, may be the router or a fritz box that works as local dns server.

That

is correct.

Hi @soptik

that must work. May be your MTU is too big. Reduce it from 1500 to 1300 or lower.

Itchy fingers, I took it for the actual query answer :wink:

Hi.
I lowered the MTU size to 1200, but it apears to behave the same way:

Just to add - the server is a physical server, with 10GBe network ports joined in LACP teams connected to Juniper 10GBe virtual chasis, it’s in a DMZ (hence the 10.10.1.0/24 network and 10.10.1.1 gw/dns).
I don’t have ANY other network related problems except this one with the certificate, server is a production mailserver and it works and serves users just fine :slight_smile:
I use commercial certificates on other domains on this server with Icewarp, no problems there too.

Thx
