Yes

Full (strict)

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Hey everyone,

I ran a security scan on my web app and got a great score (98%), but I still have one issue related to cipher order. The scan result states:

Verdict: Your web server does not prefer ‘Good’ over ‘Sufficient’ over ‘Phase out’ ciphers (‘II’).

I’m using Cloudflare as a reverse proxy, and I’ve already set the security settings to the maximum level:
:white_check_mark: TLS 1.2 minimum version (1.3 supported)
:white_check_mark: Full (strict) SSL mode
:white_check_mark: Always use HTTPS enabled

Despite this, I’m still getting the warning about cipher order. It seems like Cloudflare does not prioritize strong ciphers over weaker ones.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a way to enforce a stricter cipher preference on Cloudflare, or is this something that Cloudflare handles internally?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

You can either set the minimum TLS Version to 1.3 or get the ACM addon which allows you to disable specific ciphers.
