Let's Encrypt add DNS-01 challenge method

Hi All,
The new let's encrypt feature is a good start, but currently only supports HTTP-01 challenge which means that we must keep port 80 open and cannot maintain an IP whitelist. The DNS-01 https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-types/#dns-01-challenge makes it possible.

Thanks

 

Couldn't agree more. This would allow for Geo-IP restrictions and other already mentioned security measures while still being able to utilize Let's Encrypt.

 

Please consider adding this as a priority. It would make many admin's lives better for the reasons stated above. I have Firewall issues that I have to work around that basically negate the benefit of automation that the current letsencrypt implementation provides. These issues would be solved by being able to use the DNS-01 challenge method.

 

Not sure why, after 3 years this is not at least under consideration? It has more views and upvotes than many other "under consideration" requests, and should be relatively simple to implement...
