Problem with my ssl can't connect is it cloudflare? (handshake failure)

#1

I’ve tried multiple things, and i keep getting a handshake failure, my https works but all of a sudden one of the web services i use stopped working, and the error being handshake failure, see below: ssl is all setup and working but something is going wrong along the way,

openssl s_client -connect hearthijab.com:443

I’ve paused cloudflare and now it works,

i want cloudflare to be enabled at all times, so any idea where i am going wrong?

It sounds like your Cloudflare TLS certificate hasn’t been generated yet. Sometimes it takes a little while. Sometimes it just gets stuck.

Here’s a support article on the subject. Scroll way down to the “Your cert is not active” section.
