I’m tring to setup Nginx as Reverse Proxy and i follow this instructions: [www.ipfire.org - Nginx](https://www.ipfire.org/docs/addons/nginx)

What I’m having trouble with is that I can’t get acme certificates because the script gives an error. It i try this script:

```auto
acme.sh --issue -d yourdomain_1.tld -w /usr/share/nginx/html

```

with my data i get this:

```auto
[root@ipfire .acme.sh]# ./acme.sh --issue -d test.domain.tld -w /usr/share/nginx/html --log
[Thu Feb 19 10:14:18 AM CET 2026] Using CA: https://acme.zerossl.com/v2/DV90
[Thu Feb 19 10:14:18 AM CET 2026] Single domain='test.domain.tld'
[Thu Feb 19 10:14:20 AM CET 2026] Getting webroot for domain='test.domain.tld'
[Thu Feb 19 10:14:21 AM CET 2026] Verifying: test.domain.tld
[Thu Feb 19 10:14:22 AM CET 2026] Processing. The CA is processing your order, please wait. (1/30)
[Thu Feb 19 10:14:25 AM CET 2026] The retryafter=86400 value is too large (> 600), will not retry anymore.
[Thu Feb 19 10:14:25 AM CET 2026] Please check log file for more details: /root/.acme.sh/acme.sh.log

```

Set Letsencrypt servers to default:

`acme.sh --set-default-ca --server letsencrypt`

…and try again.
