Hello,  
I am trying to setup Lets Encrypt SSL, so while installing discourse, I tried setting the email for Lets encrypt but I got below error :-

* * *

_Checking your domain name . . ._  
_WARNING:: This server does not appear to be accessible at [domainex.com:443](http://domainex.com:443)._  
_A connection to [http://domainex.com](http://domainex.com) (port 80) also fails._  
_This suggests that [domainex.com](http://domainex.com) resolves to the wrong IP address_  
_or that traffic is not being routed to your server._  
_Google: “open ports YOUR CLOUD SERVICE” for information for resolving this problem._  
_You should probably answer “n” at the next prompt and disable Let’s Encrypt._  
_This test might not work for all situations,_  
_so if you can access Discourse at [http://domainex.com](http://domainex.com), you might try anyway._

* * *

The above is the error message from discourse install, there might be anything missing in my GCP config.  
I installed without SSL now but can anyone tell me what might be the issue
