Timeout on Non-proxied DNS

Hello.

I have an A record managed via Cloudflare, that I have set to Non-proxied, and pointing towards an external VPS that I wish to have serve http/s traffic, as well as be accessed via ssh

nslookup shows the correct ip address, and I am able to use the subdomain set in the A record to ssh into the server.

However, http/s traffic is timing out when trying to reach the server, which is preventing me from successfully getting my SSL certificates from acme

If I set up Nginx to not require certificates, and ensure that port 80 is open, I still recieve a timeout when attempting to access the server via http

Am I missing steps for managing simple DNS records with Cloudflare in an unproxied manner?
