Hello all,

I've been using Traefik + Docker + LetsEncrypt fine for a few months, but now the certs are expired.  
I've tried a few method to renew it but no luck.

I even spun up a new Traefik v2.2.1 container.  
A few subdomains only running if I set my A record to Proxied from DNS Only in Cloudflare.  
Traefik https url wouldn’t run regardless if I set it as Proxied or DNS only mode.

Cloudflare: SSL mode: Full  
Registrar: NoIP  
ACME challenge method: HTTP

Error:  
```time="2020-06-14T15:08:37-04:00" level=error msg="Unable to obtain ACME certificate for domains "[metrics.abcxyz.com](http://metrics.abcxyz.com)": unable to generate a certificate for the domains [[metrics.abcxyz.com](http://metrics.abcxyz.com)]: error: one or more domains had a problem:\n[[metrics.abcxyz.com](http://metrics.abcxyz.com)] acme: error: 403 :: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:unauthorized :: Invalid response from [https://metrics.abcxyz.com/login](https://metrics.abcxyz.com/login) [2606:4700:3037::ac43:a278]: "\n\<html lang=\"en\"\>\n \n \n \n !(function() {\n if ('PerformanceLongTaskTiming' in wi", url: \n" routerName=grafana-secure@docker rule="Host(`metrics.abcxyz.com`)" providerName=le.acme
