My host is telling me the a records need to be changed to @ vs my domain name. Cloudflare doesn’t seem to be saving my edits.

They’re incorrect. @ is shorthand for example.com where example.com is any domain.

If you run the following commands you’ll be able to demonstrate the expired certificate on the origin server.

curl -Ikv https://mikevein.com

This will show the 526 error with Cloudflare are the origin.

Replace 10.10.10.10 in the example below with the IP address in your DNS entry and it will demonstrate the certificate being displayed by your origin server. It will almost certainly show the cert is expired.

curl -Ikv --resolve mikevein.com:443:10.10.10.10 https://mikevein.com

That certificate needs to be renewed.
