      My certificate is valid until 18.10.20 so I need to fix this in not so long.
      anyway.
      I have my new LetsEncrypt certificate working from when I made it in the summer, but now when I will have my first renewal it will not work. I have tried to reboot PFsense and I have altso tried to manualy delete the _acme-challenge that is made by pfSense on NameSilo.

      But renewal always fail

        encountering the same issue; @Flemmingss - have you had any more sucess with this?

        i noticed this happend for my last renew date in August however regenerated a new API key fom namesilo, and it resolved itself, put it down to a hiccup... not the case this time

          Nop.

          I changed my DNS records to A records to my IP insted of CNAME to my duckdns.
          It still did not work for 3 days or somthing, but then just one morning I had a updated certificate. So i dont know if this change had anything to do with it or not.

            @Flemmingss Thanks for the info,

            every time ACME was able to successfully change the txt record in NameSilo, then was reporting a failure identical to yours, at this stage can only assume is related to DNS propegation and the script timing out.

            Had no issue renewing via DNS-Manual and waiting ~10min for the txt file update.

            will revist this in 2021 for the next renewal :)

                Hey Ngui,

                co-incidently i replaced my firewall a couple of months ago, yesterday morning was its first auto renew which worked without intervention;

                i can only put it down to the script timing out before the updated record could propegate;

                  I never got this working
                  I did a workaround without duckdns

                  I ACME i added *.mydomain.com and DNS-Namesilo
                  And in namesilo I have:

                  HOSTNAME	TYPE	ADDRESS / VALUE	DISTANCE/PRIO	TTL	SERVICE	EDIT	DELETE
*	A	MY_IP_HERE	NA	7207*	3rd-party

                    New .sh for duckdns released 4 days ago, try that to confirm if it's going to work for you.

                    ssh to your pfsense

                    cd /usr/local/pkg/acme/dnsapi
mv dns_duckdns.sh dns_duckdns.sh.backup
vi dns_duckdns.sh
copy the code from github and save
chmod 555 dns_duckdns.sh

                    then try again.

                    This worked for me 12th Jan 2021

                    https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/blob/master/dnsapi/dns_duckdns.sh

                    a4c88b61-4c65- 477b-b14f-6d85cb30b459-image.png

                    Tested today, working!

                      Hi Flemmings,

                      I do the same and worked.
                      After you can change again to cname *.duckdns.org and renew certificate again.
                      now is working fine.

                      thanks to all
