cloudflare auto updated the ssl connection from full to strict. This broke the site. From a thread i can see the fix is to set this as a custom setting. However this was already set as a custom setting. How do i stop cloudflare automatically changing ssl settings?
Was the site working with SSL prior to adding it to Cloudflare?
Cloudflare doesn’t automatically change the SSL/TLS setting if you have configured it manually, only if you set it to automatic. Check your audit log to see if/when/who changed it… https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/audit-log
Note that you should always use “Full (strict)” or “Strict”. “Full” means Cloudflare does not validate the SSL certificate on the origin and so this is insecure.
