I'm trying to set up a certificate with certbot and when I run the command suggested in the installer, certbot fails because the default nginx config doesn't allow a connection over HTTP as opposed to HTTPS. Below is what certbot returns, does anyone have any advice?
[root@mx1 sites-enabled]# certbot certonly --webroot --dry-run -w /var/www/html -d mx1.domain.tld

To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that
your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no
firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the
client. If you're using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.
