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

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The following errors were reported by the server:

   Domain: mx1.domain.tld
   Type:   connection

   Connection refused

   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.

Re: certbot connection refused

- Nginx configured by iRedMail accepts connections from 80 and 443.
- Do you have any firewall that blocks http access? like iptables on iRedMail server, or a firewall device in your LAN. If you're running iRedMail on a VPS hosted by some VPS vendor, does the VPS vendor have some default firewall rule  that blocks port 80?
