Passing HTTP Through

Thank you for asking.

May I ask if you’ve already changed domain nameservers and pointed to the assigned Cloudflare’s nameservers for your zone?

Is there a way to keep Cloudflare from getting in the way, in terms of changing HTTP to HTTPS

Since as it seems, at origin host you don’t have HTTPS enabled yet, is this correct?

If so, I’d make sure the SSL option is set to “Off (not secure)” under the SSL/TLS → Overview tab of Cloudflare dashboard.

Is it the same behaviour on your mobile phone (4G LTE, mobile data, cellular)? You could determine if this behaviour continues even by using a “Pause” option at Cloudflare as follows from below? Use the “Pause Cloudflare on Site” option from the Overview tab for your domain at dash…
