I'm still having an issue with Let's Encrypt.  I'm still getting the error
"Error fetching directory" and now mycert has expired and can't renew it and
the web server is down. 

I can ping "acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org" and also reach the url
"https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory" but it's still not
working. Not sure what happened because it was working fine.

I have no outbound firewall rules in place and I have all the necessary ports
open for inbound.

Thanks for you help!
