Persistent Redirection Issue with CloudFlare Enabled

[mandiernathan]

Hello,

I’m reaching out for assistance regarding a redirection issue I’m encountering on my website. Here are the details of the situation:

Domain name: X
DNS A Record: Points to IP address X
DNS Proxy Record (Cloudflare): Enabled for domain X

Problem Description:
When I try to access my website at the address “X” using various browsers, including Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, I receive an error message stating: “The page isn’t redirecting properly. The browser has stopped waiting for a response from the site. The site is redirecting in a way that will never complete the request.” Or “TOO_MANY_REQUESTS”.

I have verified and confirmed that the configuration of the DNS A record correctly points to IP address X. I have disabled the Cloudflare cache in an attempt to resolve the issue, but the redirection loop persists. I have followed the recommendations to clear cookies and cache in my browser, but the problem persists.

I hope you can assist me with this issue.

Community Tip - Fixing ERR TOO MANY REDIRECTS

Error Try the suggestions in this Community Tip to help you fix ERR TOO MANY REDIRECTS. Background If your SSL setting on the SSL/TLS app is Flexible and if your origin server is configured to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS, server responses back to Cloudflare are encrypted. Since Cloudflare is expecting HTTP traffic, it keeps resending the same request, resulting in a redirect loop. This causes browsers to display “The page isn’t redirecting properly” or “ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS” errors. [D…

On the Cloudflare side, I’ve disabled HTTP → HTTPS redirection. That should do it?

No. You need to make sure that Cloudflare is using Full (strict) encryption.

That’s likely because, you do not have a valid certificate at the origin. So, it’s throwing a invalid SSL error! For more info, read the following Tutorial

Background Error 526 indicates Cloudflare is unable to successfully validate the SSL certificate on the origin web server and the SSL setting in the Cloudflare SSL/TLS app is set to Full SSL (Strict) for the website.

I think it’s settled

It probably isn’t. The issue @neiljay mentioned is still there. Make sure your encryption mode is Full Strict (as @epic.network already mentioned), otherwise you have no encryption.
