In this case, you\u2019d likely be using Cloudflare\u2019s Flexible SSL\/TLS encryption mode. This means only traffic between your viewers and Cloudflare is encrypted, not between Cloudflare and your origin web server. This can cause some problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mixed content errors preventing images from loading securely (can be tested with WhyNoPadlock.com)<\/li><li>Redirect loop errors preventing the entire page from loading in your browser<\/li><li>Your website sharing a wildcard SSL with phishing sites (can be tested with Nmap and SSL Shopper SSL Checker)<\/li><li>SSL stripping, and HTTP downgrade, and other man-in-the-middle (MITM) cyber attacks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All InMotion cPanel-managed plans include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/website\/ssl\/auto-ssl-guide\/\">free auto-enabled forever AutoSSL<\/a> for those who don\u2019t need a paid SSL, usually recommended for eCommerce sites. This way you can still provide end-to-end encryption for your visitors and mitigate the aforementioned errors and cyber attacks, regardless of whether you\u2019re using a CDN or web application firewall (WAF). Below we\u2019ll cover the best way to implement an SSL with Cloudflare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#check\">How to Check Your Website Without Cloudflare<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#ssl\">The Fix \u2013 Cloudflare CA-Issued SSL Certificates<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#trouble\">Troubleshooting<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#hsts\">HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"check\">How to Check Your Website Without Cloudflare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may see this as a \u201chow to\u201d guide for penetration testers. That\u2019s understandable. However, it\u2019s important to understand how easy some attacks are to truly realize why you should work to mitigate them. Furthermore, the information below is discussed for many other benign situations such as testing a website before updating nameservers or transferring a domain to another registrar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may already know you can enable <a href=\"https:\/\/support.cloudflare.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/200168246-Understanding-Cloudflare-Development-Mode\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Development mode in Cloudflare<\/a> to temporarily bypass caching. But anyone can edit their computer hosts file to force DNS queries of a domain to another server IP address regardless of your authoritative DNS records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the yourwebsite.com A record is 1.2.3.4, but I want to rebuild the website on another server, I can simply add this to my computer hosts file to redirect all requests from my computer to my new server instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">9.8.7.6 yourwebsite.com www.yourwebsite.com<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, my computer treats my staging server as the true yourwebsite.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases it is easy to bypass a CDN or WAF to find a website\u2019s origin IP address. This is the basic concept behind many DNS cache poisoning attacks on workstations, network routers, and rogue Wi-Fi access points (WAPs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your domain is pointed to Cloudflare\u2019s name servers, you can edit the hosts file to check if your website redirects to HTTPS without enabling Cloudflare Development mode \u2014 which affects all users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ssl\">The Fix \u2013 Cloudflare CA-Issued SSL Certificates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, the only option for using an SSL with Cloudflare was to install AutoSSL on your cPanel server and force HTTPS in your web server configuration. Cloudflare now offers Origin CA-issued certificates for a single SSL to fully encrypt traffic from the origin server to the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\"><li>Log into Cloudflare.com.<\/li><li>On the left select \u201cSSL\/TLS\u201d and \u201cOrigin Server.\u201d\u00a0<\/li><li>Select \u201cCreate Certificate.\u201d <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cloudflare-origin-server-1024x582.png\" alt=\"Create certificate in Cloudflare\" class=\"wp-image-93978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cloudflare-origin-server-1024x582.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cloudflare-origin-server-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cloudflare-origin-server-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cloudflare-origin-server.png 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li>Select \u201cGenerate private key and CSR with Cloudflare.\u201d Add all domains from your server.
