What is the issue you’re encountering

Custom SSL/TLS from Full (Strict) to Flexible

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Hello dear Cloudflare,
we are cloudflare free users, we want to ask you who understand more about cloudflare
Configuring the SSL/TLS encryption mode from “Full (Strict)” to “Flexible” now our website gets a 404 not found error and the home page gets a message ( It works!).

We are asking for a solution to make it normal again, we have tried to Pause Cloudflare but we get the same message.

when we return from Flexible to “Full (Strict)” our website is normal again.
we want flexible to be compatible with our cache plugin.

Thank you

Welcome to the Cloudflare Community. :logodrop:

Please don’t use Flexible. It deceives and misleads your vistors into believing that their connection is secure when you are actually sending all of the traffic between Cloudflare and your server across the internet in the clear.

You should only use Full (strict) or higher encryption settings to ensure that communication is protected all the way from your server to your visitors.
