Newbie wondering about SSL on my servers

Application Security SSL / TLS
1

What is the name of the domain?

‘tomatkinson.org’

What is the error number?

No error

What is the error message?

No error

What is the issue you’re encountering

I only have a question

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I’m just starting here now

Was the site working with SSL prior to adding it to Cloudflare?

Yes

What is the current SSL/TLS setting?

Off

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

I have a collection of servers running as docker containers and they are all running as straight HTTP. I also have a RaspberryPi running pihole. I want to make sure my transaaction are secure. I currently have Tunnel connections to these systems (which requires SSL - I believe it is communicating with the cloudflared Docker container which then relays to the various servers. Should I be installing SSL certs for the host machine? SHould I do that also for the containers?

You don’t need to support https server-side behind a tunnel, as the tunnel is already encrypted.

However, the tunnel only supports http1 via http, https also supports http2.

Unless your app really benefits from http2, you don’t really need to bother with ssl.

I’m unable to login due to the “verifying you are human” thing that never works so I’m using this email to log a new issue.

When you’re tunnel system requires me to enter my email every so often I find I have to use my old email [email protected]. If I use [email protected] it never arrives.

Maybe fix the login page too.

Thanks, Tom
