AutoSSL cannot validate domain and cannot fetch ssl because of the Cloudflare nameservers. How do we fix it? I installed the Cloudflare certificate for end to end encryption if i don’t have an ssl on my server but need one for my mail.
AutoSSL won’t work with am DNS record. What you can do is generate an origin certificate for 15 years and install that into cpanel
