# extend letsencrypt certificate with dns challenge

Assuming the domain name is `yulrizka.com` and the certificate was created with

```bash
$ certbot certonly --standalone --preferred-challenges dns -d yulrizka.com
```

To extend this certificate with DNS challenge

```bash
# certbot -d yulrizka.com --manual --preferred-challenges dns certonly
```

You will be asked to add TXT record of `_acme-challenge.yulrizka.com`.

After updating that DNS record, wait couple of minutes and proceed.
