Adding a DEV TLD site

Hi,

I recently purchased a DEV TLD with Google and pointed it to DigitalOcean's Nameservers. When I check the dns propagation, it shows the correct server ip address. However when I go into Forge and add the site and setup the SSL with LetsEncrypt and then try to visit the site, I get a "This site can't be reached. Refused to connect.". Did I do something wrong?

Did Let's Encrypt actually issue the certificate? It will fail if the site is unreachable. If the cert was issued, then the site should be available so check with another browser to see if the same result. Then, I would clear my DNS cache on your dev machine.

Thanks for the help @ejdelmonico . Ended up that I had a /etc/reslover/dev file setup to resolve dev domains from a few years back. Removed that and everything works just fine now.
