After creating a Redirect (RDR) DNS record, you may find that the redirected domain isn’t serving a valid SSL certificate. The following are the common causes.
The certificate is still being issued
If you’ve just created the record, the certificate may still be issuing. Activation takes anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes — wait before investigating further.
The record was created before Bunny DNS was active
If the RDR record was created before your domain was fully pointing to Bunny DNS, the certificate authority couldn’t validate the domain and the certificate failed to issue.
If your domain is now fully pointing to Bunny DNS, delete and recreate the Redirect record. The certificate should issue within a few minutes.
CAA records are blocking Let’s Encrypt
If your domain has a custom CAA record that doesn’t authorize Let’s Encrypt, certificate issuance will fail. In this case, use a Pull Zone with a redirect Edge Rule instead and provide your own certificate for the domain.
Other Let’s Encrypt issues
Bunny.net uses Let’s Encrypt to issue SSL certificates. If none of the above applies, the issue is likely on the Let’s Encrypt validation side. Run a check for your domain with the Let’s Debug tool to identify the problem.
If Let’s Debug doesn’t find an issue, reach out to support from the control panel.
