nginx: [warn] “ssl_stapling” ignored, host not found in OCSP responder “r3.o.lencr.org” in the certificate

Also posted on: [https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/709950/nginx-warn-ssl-stapling-ignored-host-not-found-in-ocsp-responder-r3-o-len](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/709950/nginx-warn-ssl-stapling-ignored-host-not-found-in-ocsp-responder-r3-o-len)

I updated my router firmware and it ended up killing my webserver, so I reverted back to the old firmware in hopes that it would un\*\*\*\* itself. It didn't.

So now I'm battling an issue where I'm probably at my wits end, I cannot make it work. All my applications running in the background are working fine and internet/LAN is working aswell.

Whenever I try to start up the nginx web server it returns with this OCSP responder message and I have tried changing things but to no avail. And why would I have to change anything to make it work when I didn't change anything to mess it up?

I've tried turning on the nginx debug mode and it shows me this:

And this is what the normal error.log throws me through systemctl:

nginx: [warn] "ssl_stapling" ignored, host not found in OCSP responder "r3.o.lencr.org" in the certificate

​

I think it's a DNS issue but I can't figure out what by myself, according to a forum post the error message suggests there is a problem with resolution of the [r3.o.lencr.org](https://r3.o.lencr.org) name, as preformed by nginx on startup using system resolver.

​

My reverse config:

server {
listen 80 default_server;
#listen [::]:80 default_server;

server_name dns.name.here 192.168.0.100;

return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
upstream netdata {

}

My ssl.conf:

Also tried checking if I could actually communicate with [8.8.8.8](https://8.8.8.8)
