What is the issue you’re encountering

SSL Certificate is Unsigned

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

We created and downloaded a .crt and .key file from the cloudflare dashboard under SSL → Origin Server.
However the certificate is unsigned and therefore pretty useless.
How do we create signed certificates?

Was the site working with SSL prior to adding it to Cloudflare?

Yes

What is the current SSL/TLS setting?

Full

The certificates are signed by Cloudflare. Cloudflare is not a trusted certificate authority, so the certificates are only trusted by Cloudflare and can only be used in combination with the proxy.

You can get signed certificates from certificate authorities like LetsEncrypt.

You disabled encryption. This needs to be Full Strict.
