SSL Error (Cloudflare)

Go to solution Solved by paul2009,

Hello!

I moved my domain to another provider a few years ago and have had problems with SSL since then.

About three years ago I started using Cloudflare and with the use of proxies and full SSL/TLS encryption I didn't care about the error messages with Squarespace. 

Well, until I wanted to activate customer accounts!

Proxies for A and CNAME entries turned off. No change -> "SSL certificates aren't currently available for the domains below."
I also switched off Full SSL/TLS Encrypts. No change! -> "SSL certificates aren't currently available for the domains below."

All this has only resulted in my website no longer being accessible via HTTPS.

If I switch on all the cloudflare settings again, the site is accessible via https again, but a DNS error is displayed again in the Squarespace settings. This is just annoying!

From the few hits I get on google search on "Squarespace + Cloudflare", it seems that it is probably impossible to use both together. 😞

And the article "Using Cloudflare with Squarespace" contains almost no useful information.

 

Thanks for any tips and help!

Andy

If you don't need Cloudflare's services, you can resolve this by connecting (or transferring) your domain to Squarespace and using the built in SSL services.

You didn't provide any details of the domain but the guide Connecting a domain to your Squarespace site should get you started.
