Nameserver migrated to cloudflare from locaweb but flexible SSL not issued?
It just does not work at all, it says there's no SSL and then I get an infinite redirect loop

Do you not have a certificate under https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/ssl-tls/edge-certificates ? What is your domain that you are trying to access
The universal SSL is in there and active

the website is proxied by cloudflare
Try changing your SSL mode to Full (strict). Something is causing a redirect loop
let me try
I thought the redirect loop was caused because of the HTTPS always redirect
but I disabled it and still can't go into http version
im really out of ideas already
changing to FULL worked, but why?
Locaweb had it's lets encrypt cert in there, but the cloudflare one should replace it, no?
like load in front of it making their SSL useless
Cloudflare defaults Flexible SSL which means it will try to make requests to your origin server in http. This causes a loop as your origin is going to redirect to https.
Cloudflare provides SSL from user -> Cloudflare you still need SSL for Cloudflare -> origin
makes sense, so if I want to use flexible I need to make sure the origin does not redirect back, right?
well thanks for the help
really appreciate
Please don't use flexible, you are essentially lying to your users that you have SSL
that's true, but if it's that bad why even give the option?
it's kinda of a lie, if they don't care about the whole trip :P
Yeah it really shouldn't be available much less the default but it was added like that a while ago
Relic of the legacy internet where ssl certs were harder to get/ssl was less supported
