I need help in disabling Cloudflare services for my subdomain while maintaining SSL functionality. Could you provide step-by-step instructions on how to achieve this?
DNS records
You will need to change the DNS record for the subdomain to “DNS only”. Clients will connect directly to your origin and see the SSL certificate there instead of the Cloudflare edge certificate.
I did that earlier, but I am not able to use cloudflare SSL.
How can I disable all other services in the page rule?
If you want to use Universal SSL then you need to use the proxy.
Note that fronting a non-SSL origin server with Cloudflare isn’t recommended. Data is not then encrypted between Cloudflare and your origin and so your users think their connection is secured when it is not and you are exposing their data.
You should get SSL working on your origin whichever way you go, do not use Flexible SSL/TLS mode, only “Full (strict)”.
