Other Information

Hello everyone.

After digging through a lot of posts here, it seems the self-signed certificate you create under SSL/TLS in the Infinity Free account does not work with Cloudflare “Full” mode, just looking to encrypt connectivity from Cloudflare edge to my hosting account.

Is there a way I can accomplish that without getting a certificate from a valid CA?

I’ve tried using the Cloudflare origin certificate, creating the CSR in SSL/TLS section on my account, creating the certificate on a third-party website, but nothing seems to work, it looks like Infinity Free takes you to purchase a certificate from a CA to get this working, which if I do then I can just switch to “Full-Strict”.

I’m just looking for a free service for now, I’m still a noob on this, in the future I’ll pay for everything.

Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

It works, just make sure you do not choose full(strict) mode.

A Full Guide To Cloudflare

Hello, I will show you how to easily set up Cloudflare, Edit Records, and Troubleshoot with images! PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING!!! Cloudflare cannot be used on free subdomains from InfinityFree. You can use Cloudflare on Custom Domains (yoursite.com) and with Custom Sub-Domains (subdomain.yoursite.com). A video tutorial can be found at the end of this guide, should you get stuck. You must connect your domain to your InfinityFree account first. Read more here. Set-Up Cloudflare Go to Dash…
