pki-validation error

Hi Just after enabling proxy mode on cloudflare I can see many requests from cloudflare IP and path as /.well-known/pki-validation/name.txt. What are these requests as currently I am blocking these requests. Do I need to allow these requests ?

But SSL certificate is already issued for my domain. Why is cloudflare trying to issue certificate ? Ok. But this issue I am facing with only some specific hosts. Not every host. And I have a firewall rule to allow only certain IPs for all the hosts. My problem is in this environment I am only allowed to send traffic from some specific IPs only. Is it necessary to whitelist this IP or should I just leave this request as it is getting blocked ? Will this create any issue ? where can I find this path ? "./well-known/pki-validation" On the DNS manager ? Ya Leo, I have created an IP list. And I have created a firewall rule as If hostname ="legit-hostname" and IP is not in "IP Allow List" Then Block the request. So this Cloudflare Certificate IP is getting blocked. Ok Leo Thank you so much. Just 1 thing I have in my mind. Although I have SSL created for my domain, why cloudflare also creates certificate ? Ok. So once this certifiate creation is done. I can remove this rule " 'and not http.request.uri.path contains "/.well-known/pki-validation/" and not http.request.uri.path contains "/.well-known/acme-challenge/"'" Ok. Thanks Leo. You are very helpful. I tried adding u as friend but I was unable to do so. Still thaks a lot. Hi Leo I faced one issue with a legit request as it was getting blocked. Rule which is blocking is - XSS, HTML Injection - Base Tag What does this rule actually mean do you have any idea ? Ok. But why this rule gets triggered ? Haha... I think <base> tag is not advisable to pass in Http Body
