🔐Cloudflare as SSL proxy

Cloudflare rocks

Cloudflare acts as your DNS nameserver, reverse web proxy, web application firewall, SSL provider, incoming MX record mail processor, and much more.

Cloudflare is free and has a popular "plug and play" method for adding SSL to your installation.

To enable Cloudflare, you'll need to add their DNS nameservers to the domain you're using to access your platform installation.

Cloudflare also has their own registrar, and if you register a new domain with them, SSL comes working out of the gate automatically.

You can add any domain to Cloudflare for free by signing up here.

Optional: Creating a new domain with Cloudflare's registrar

If possible, we recommend registering a new domain with the Cloudflare registrar to use for managing your emaildelivery.com platform as it will automatically come correctly configured for HTTPS when created.

To enable HTTPS for your domain hosted on Cloudflare:

Click the domain name -> SSL -> Overview -> Flexible:

SSL will not be available for your domain or subdomain until proxy mode is enabled.

Go to DNS -> Records -> edit or create an A record -> Turn proxy status orange:

You need to run a command in edcom-install to complete the Cloudflare SSL conversion
