      Hi.

      I have tried to follow this guide to set up ACME (And HAProxy)
      First I just did it with duckdns.org, and the certificate was issued, but it gave me not-secure when accessing stuff.mydomain.duckdns.org, I found out I needed my own top level domain, so I bought a domain at namesilo.com

      But I am not able to issue...

      • Removed Certificates and Account keys from ACME
      • Remove all TXT at NameSilo
      • Rebooted pfSense
      • Added new Account key
      • Created new Certificate
      • Clicked Issue
      • Still did not work, but I get a _acme-challenge TXT at NameSilo. Last renewed date still Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100
      • waited 3 days and tried new issue, same problem.

      This is the log I get:

      Do anyone have an idea?

        Ones these

        .... the _acme-challenge TXT records - are used, they become useless / stale. Delete them.

        Check this part :

        the logs says it removed the _acme-challenge.mydomain.top record, but did it really do so - which one was deleted ?

        Also, for a wild card domain you should have two "Domainname", like "mydomain.top" and *.mydomain.top".
        See the original doc : Wildcard Domain Step-By-Step

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @Gertjan Thanks for your answer. The screenshot is some days old and before I deleted the TXT's.
          Now I checked my domain, there is no TXT records, just the two CNAME record I have made myself.

          I tried again now and _acme-challenge TXT mbyXXXXXXXF1k are created at NameSilo.
          And I see this (same as before):
          4cde02d5-11f6-4f3c-93c5-717b34d4907a-image.png
          And nothing in the logs. So I tried Issue again and I got this:

          664dcae2-c797-4412-81bd-cb6b10609605-image.png
          Still nothing in the logs

          BTW: I don't think I understood the wildcard thing.
          My goal is to be able to access all servers behind my pfsense with SSL. server1.domain.top and server2.domain.top ect.

            @Flemmingss said in New user failing to issue certificate:

            Still nothing in the logs

            Yes, here is it :
            30c07827-2bc4-45b3-8a0b-a9fec78ed60c-image.png

            which means : if the challenge TXT record isn't added, letenscrypt can't verify, etc etc.
