I have recently taken the steps to setup my own domain to that I can access a home server of mine while away from my home LAN.
Using the steps found here: https://everythingsmarthome.co.uk/free-remote-access-for-home-assistant-with-cloudlfare/
My domain was purchased through Squarespace and I have added the two given nameservers from Cloudflare.
I am using a server side addon called “Cloudflared” to allow be to access my server via a Cloudflare tunnel.
I have been able to successfully authorize the tunnel and can see it listed on the zero trust dashboard with a “healthy” status.
Though sadly I believe I have either messed up the DNS record entries with the Cloudflare dashboard, or I am experiencing this “ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH” error due to a lingering/unresolved Cloudflare outage. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
What are your thoughts folks?
Thank you for your time in reading this request for input.
Circling back 7 hours later with a fully functional Cloudflare Tunnel.
What I did?
Cloudflare side:
Dashboard > Overview > Advanced Actions > Pause Cloudflare on this site
Dashbord > Access menu option > Launch Zero Trust > selected my account > Access Menu option > Tunnels > three vertical dot menu > Delete
Squarespace side:
Restored default DNS records
Restored default nameserver info
allow time for Squarespace to bring my domain and default site back, then disabled and reenabled SSL and waited for it to activate.
After doing so, I was able to reconfigure the tunnel with a fresh authorization link and all is working well now.
I am still assuming that the cloudflare errors which occurred over the last 72 hours played a part in the trouble I had. Though, after taking a few steps back and trying again… I please to be connected for now
Best of luck to whomever stumbles across this post in the future.
