the test is actually simple:
Can you connect to your application from an external address when it is online? Using HTTP?
You can check the name of the challenge file that IWCertManager saves into the C:\MyApplication\acme-challenge\ folder and try to retrieve it from your browser.
Let's say the file is named 123456789
Then you can try to as:
"http://yourdomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/123456789"
If you can't receive the file, nor Let's Encrypt can.
But it is important to use a machine that is outside your domain/network.
