      I want to setup my pfSense to handle my domains, all are hosted on Cloudflare.
      I have installed the latest availble Acme package, setup an account for Letsencrypt.
      Add my first domain under certificates, I have created a Edit DNS zones all token.
      The error I get is this: Strange issue/renew
      Sometimes I get a big wall of green text and in the end it says that is wasn't able to add the TXT record, and then the same button.

      What am I doing wrong?

        @swemattias I use dns method with clouldflare - I found that changing dns-sleep to 180 everything goes smoother.

          @johnpoz The issue I had is solved, I do think I mixed up the different Cloudflare values.

          What do you mean with dns Cloudflare? The value I choose in the long list for Cloudflare is called "DNS-Cloudflare".

            @swemattias exactly..

            I use the same - but I found sometimes there were issues with renewal - changing the dns-sleep value to 180 vs default of 120 I believe helps with issues of renewal.
