Cant access website when proxied through Cloudflare
my site was working fine up to today. i havent changed any settings and none of my ssl certificates have expired. I have checked that no firewalls or ratelimits are affecting it. when any of my sites are requested whcih are proxyed through cloudflare they either give "connection timed out" "ssl handshake failed" or "webserver is returning an unknown error" errors randomly. When i disable cloudflare it works fine and i can see the cloudflare origin certificate for cloudflare full strict ssl is working and being sent fine. Just cloudflare cant connect. How do i fix this?

Installed the intermediate cert as well? I had some webservers where it was required, more specifically those running directadmin, though i don't remember it giving me other CF errors other than SSL https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/origin-configuration/origin-ca/#cloudflare-origin-ca-root-certificate

Origin CA certificates | Cloudflare SSL/TLS docs
Origin Certificate Authority (CA) certificates allow you to encrypt traffic between Cloudflare and your origin web server, and reduce origin bandwidth consumption.
what is you ssl setting on cf and do you use proxy on your webserver?
