CloudFlare Encrypt end-to-end

I have noticed some weird things when attempting to connect from work

I had some err_connect_closed when trying to connect to my website from work and decided to look into it. One of the things I decided to try was end-to-encryption from server to Cloudflare and then Cloudflare to browser. Hopefully, this worked to fix my issue.

  1. Request an Origin Certificate for my server which is easy from Cloudflare go to SSL/TLS > Origin Server and create the certificate.
  2. Save the key as domain.com.key, Save the cert as domain.com.pen
  3. Open up your admin Nginx Proxy Manager and upload a custom certificate. Name it, then upload the cert and the key in their respective areas. Nginx Proxy Manager Upload Cert
  4. Then edit your domain in Nginx Proxy and have it use the custom SSL certificate. Nginx Proxy Edit Domain
  5. You should now be set up to run Full(Strict) mode in CloudFlare! Full Strict Mode CloudFlare
