If one of the AIOWPS firewall rules is causing this then I recommend that you do some tests by disabling/enabling the firewall rules until you find the particular rule.
When you find the rule which is doing the blocking just leave it disabled.

Firewall disabling does not work. The aiowps plugin has to be disabled completely while updating lets encrypt certificates.
This is bad because most hosting panels allow autoupdating of letsencrypt and the intervals are very short, like 1-2months.
So if using AIOWPS, you for sure run into a update mess every 1-2 months if hosting large amounts of customers.
I would reccomend implementing a checkbox “If you use Lets encrypt, check this box” like you did with the Jetpack situation where the xml-rpc rule blocked the functionality.
I do not know the exact api but a file in public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge/ must be accessible (readable) with curl from inside the server out and from outside as well.
I’m not familiar with that other plugin you are referring to and hence I have no idea what is causing the issue you are seeing.
If it’s not the firewall rules it could be some other feature in the AIOWPS plugin doing the blocking.
Since you’re already familiar with that encrypt plugin I recommend that you you go through the AIOWPS features and perform some tests to find which feature is doing the blocking.
When you find it let us know. When we know what the cause is, we may be able to offer a workaround or solution.
