Unable to get new cert generated

I've been stumbling on this for hours trying to get a new cert generated.

My domain is: russjudge.com

I ran this command: certbot --apache

It produced this output:
Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:

Hello @russjudge, welcome to the Let's Encrypt community. :slightly_smiling_face:

Port 80 on your IPv6 Address didn't respond for the HTTP-01 challenge
Best Practice - Keep Port 80 Open

Using Let's Debug yielded these results:

Also DNS Spy report for russjudge.com shows you only have an IPv6 Address.
russjudge.com | DNSViz agrees.

That isn't the reason that Let's Encrypt could not issue a certificate; just additional data.
