Hi,

Your free LetsEncrypt SSL certificate has expired and the auto renewal couldn’t renew it, manual renewal is also not working for your domain name. We have tried below given third party Letsencrypt certificates generators :-

https://www.sslforfree.com
https://zerossl.com

But these are also failing to generate the certificate for your domain name, it appears that your domain name is blocked/banned by LetsEncrypt, not sure why.

We have disabled the SSL for your website so that it can work without generating warning. We will continue to check the generation of certificate for your domain name after interval of 24 hours, if generated same will be installed for you.

Regards,

Support Deptartment

Can any one let us know the reason why our domain has been blocked and what can be done to get it unblocked and renew our letsencrypt certificate.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Checking logs, the domain has not been banned. However, I did see that auditiondate.info hit a rate limit.

 Error creating new order :: too many failed authorizations recently: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/

There’s also an issue with your DNS configuration per the following error.

NS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.auditiondate.info

Running a dig command shows me that a CNAME exists to another subdomain.

$ dig TXT _acme-challenge.www.auditiondate.info +short
5nao4l21_bvorfwdycdupsisumgeju2cojctxfbutne.auditiondate.info

Are you perhaps using DNS alias mode with acme.sh? https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/DNS-alias-mode
