You can't renew dns challenge certs that simple as you say there. Either you should use --manual-auth-hook and some scripts either you should update/add new txt records manually. Or use something like terraform to automate this if you use cloudflare's dns. Certbot renew is non-interactive.

Hi! I am able to create the certificate and all as shown in your tutorial. I am also able to view my website in https, however my subdomain is still not secured. I am using VestaCP, and i use the Let's Encrypt in there and it works fine. I just need to secure my subdomains. Any idea?

How long should a TXT record take to get detected while doing it this way? Mine haven't propagated yet and it's been like 40 minutes. Do I just leave my terminal up, check on a DNS record checker and wait for it to show?

Hi @Anton

After obtaining the certificate, I still have one issue, for each client visiting any subdomain, a warning message says (this connection is not private)
any idea how to avoid this? I'm using Apache service

Hi my dig -t txt _acme-challenge.exemple.net show server as 8.8.8.8#53(8.8.8.8) and not as your 192.168.1.1
what should I do?

Can you make a tutorial that explains how to get an SSL when your ISP is intentionally blocking port 80 and refuses to release it for you unless you spend a ton of money on a much slower "business" plan? I followed a tutorial on a Kemp Load Balancer and it has an SSL on it now, the validation method was "TXT", I have no idea how or why it worked because following tutorials like this for those of us that have no understanding of the fundamentals just know if we copy what we see on the screen everything should work, so if something doesn't work we have no idea what the hell is going on because our understanding from the get go was copying instructions, as opposed to knowing at all what those instructions actually mean.
