Your site is currently using a wildcard certficate for your host’s domain: *.greengeeks.net.
Do you currently have a valid certificate for your domain that covers both the apex and the www name?
If you do, you should install that certificate on your origin server. Otherwise you should acquire and deploy such a certificate. You can use a certificate from a commercial certificate authority. Automated free certificates from the Let’s Encrypt CA often are a good option. If you expect to route all of your traffic through the Cloudflare proxy , using a Cloudflare Origin CA certificate can be an attractive choice.
That Let’s Encrypt certificate is expired. They need to be replaced every 90 days. Since your DNS is currently returning Cloudflare IPs, I presume that you are proxied and that Certificate is your edge certificate from Cloudflare. You might try to disable Universal SSL and re-enable it. You can ignore the part in the guide about uploading a certificate to Cloudflare since you will be turning Universal SSL on again.
What website are you using please to check this? I have checked using SSLShopper and many other sites and they all show SSL has been installed correctly. I am new to all this, so forgive me if I am wrong.
My hosting company’s support team said they installed the certificate on 09-November and it has not expired. But if I unpause Cloudflare, my website fails. Everything seems to point to issues with Cloudflare settings, but I am not sure what I need to change.
The certificate on your origin server expires 2023-01-23. It should automatically renew about 30 days in advance. That gives you time to work with your host on troubleshooting the automated renewal before the certificate expires, if anything goes wrong.
At the bottom of the screen in the image you shared, you will want to enable Universal SSL. You should then be able to switch back to using the proxy.
I have deleted the host certificate and then enabled Universal SSL (but not with HSTS enabled) and it didn’t work. As soon as I unpause Cloudflare, the privacy error pops up again. The hosting support team installed the certificate again as my website was down for 3/4 days as I couldn’t figure out the right settings to get Cloudflare to work properly.
The question is how was this setup working before my certificate renewal? Why does Cloudflare have an issue with the renewal or is it something else?
I have deleted my website from Cloudflare dashboard and recreated it, Still no change.
My hosting support clearly tell me that this is a Cloudflare issue and they can’t resolve it at their end.
Is there a way to run a test to see what the issue is? Or how do I get support team to investigate?
