Hello,

I had to disable the Firewall on 4.1.0-8 to be able to create a whole new let’s encrypt certificate.

That’s because of this:  
[https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/unexpected-renewal-failures-since-april-2024-please-read-this/216830](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/unexpected-renewal-failures-since-april-2024-please-read-this/216830)

However, we made some changes in the latest VitalPBX update to automatically disable the firewall while renewing or creating Let’s Encrypt certs. It seems that there’s an issue with the coding because is not disabling the firewall rules as expected.

Thanks, so you will check again an it should be fixed in the new version?  
Maybe you only disable the firewall on autorenewal?  
I created a new certificate.

Thanks

It seems the script is run before renewing/creating the certificate. We have already notified our dev team about this!
