local and remote CA for lets encrypt

[mrjoli021]

I have a local gitlab server called let's say gitlab.mypublicdomain.com. It is trying to renew the cert from the public lets encrypt and it is timing out . This same server was working before. I have however configured Acme on PfSense for some other domains to be the CA for them, but the "mypublicdomain.com" is not listed under the certificates tab. According to the server logs the Acme client timeout and the error that it comes back with is "possibly a firewall issue: 400" What am I missing? Not sure if I messed something up during the Acme setup on PfSense. The only thing I see is that both the pfsense account and the server account both are using the same email address, but not sure if that is causing my issue.
