Error trying to activate SSL for my new Vanilla website

hitjethvahitjethva New
in Vanilla 3.x Help

I'm hosting a Droplet on DigitalOcean for my new Vanilla website.
I ran the Putty installer, connecting to my server by 'root' and 'password'. However, the SSL isn't installed successfully.

It produced this output:
Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: mydomain.nl
Type: connection
Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary Apache configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains point to this Apache server and that it is accessible from the internet.

Some challenges have failed.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot wit h -v for more details.

    Ensure your domain points to the right server and check your firewall settings to allow HTTP/HTTPS traffic. You can also try running Certbot with the -v flag to get more detailed logs. The Let's Encrypt community can be a great resource if you are still having trouble.
