HTTPS doesn't work

[thetradeshub]

Im having an issue with https not working, when I use https in front of my domain it does not work, only with http.

What do I need to do to enable this?

If you set the DNS entry in question to be does it work?

What is the SSL Mode for the domain?
Do you get an error message?
What exactly do you mean by “it does not work”?

[thetradeshub]

so what i mean is;

http://thetradehub.net works

https://thetradehub.net does NOT work

ns1.dynadot.com.

Community Tip - Fixing Error 522: Connection timed out

Error Try the suggestions in this Community Tip to help you fix Error 522 “ERR CONNECTION TIMED OUT” in Google Chrome or “The connection has timed out” in Firefox. Background A 522 error happens when a TCP connection to the web server could not be established. This typically happens when Cloudflare requests to the origin (your webserver) get blocked. When this happens, you’ll see “ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT”. [image] Quick Fix Ideas Make sure that you’re not blocking Cloudflare IPs in .hta…

Also, it should not be necessary to change your nameservers back and forth. When you bring a domain to Cloudflare, leave all the DNS records until the name server change has completed (about 48 hours), and then you can start to change hostnames .

how do i go about forwarding sub domains like in this shot? there is no ‘forwarding’ record on cloudflare dns.

when I originally transfered over, it tried copying records, but they were all wrong and duplicates.

how do i go about forwarding sub domains

Page rules. There is a Community Tip here:

Redirecting One Domain to Another

This tutorial covers redirecting one domain to another. For this, we will be redirecting domainA.com to domainB.com. The following settings need to be configured under the domain you are redirecting from, in this example, this is domainA.com Step 1, The DNS Record: The first thing you will need is a DNS record for @, www and any other subdomains you want to redirect, set to . This can point to any IP address as the redirection page rule will execute first. I would recommend pointing…

Free plans have limited page rules (more page rules are available for an additional payment). There are plenty of redirector apps built with Workers that would do the same trick without page rules, such as Lil Redirector.

but they were all wrong and duplicates.

DNS and Forwarding are two different things. A DNS entry pointing at a webserver, and a redirect on the webserver. Cloudflare do not import the config from your webserver.

well why was it trying to set those records then?

Because it looked up the DNS entries, they existed, and it imported them. The jump start wizard makes a best effort to find your DNS records, and presents them to the user to verify.
