Hi,

recently Cloudflare is providing free SSL with all accounts. is it a full working SSL like the commercial ones available in the market ?
I have same question like you, I saw this option to enable SSL in Cloudflare but I have not used it yet. Waiting for some some honest answers!

The free SSL that Cloudflare provides encrypts data being transmitted between your site visitor and Cloudflare servers. It does not encrypt data being transmitted from your server to Cloudflare.

Also, the Cloudflare SSL is issued to their subdomain.
So when you click on the padlock it will have "Secures domain ssl123.cloudflare.com" or something like that.

I am caring about this, thanks for your question!

Not true anymore, you can use Cloudflare in Full SSL which mean you have already an SSL certificate on your website (let's encrypt for example), and they have launched few month ago, the Cloudflare origin certificate to fully secure the network between Cloudflare and your server.
Cool VirtuBox!

So we can use SSL from Cloudflare for free with full functions?

Do you have experience on using SSL with Cloudflare? if so, you should have an guide on how to use Cloudflare in Full SSL and how to integrate it on websites with proper redirections. I can consider it for our ForumWeb.Hosting

Thanks
