Free SSL Certificate FOR LIFE in 2020 - Cloudflare SSL

[@IAmInevitable1337]

amazing video & voice!, my zerossl stopped working for me, so i had to find a new one glad i stumbled upon you thank you!

[@amefilcadiz4990]

o my god,it worked! Im new to this and Ive been playing around it for a while!Thank u

[@oqba]

Cloudflare is recommended for international website traffic. From my experience cloudready slows down sites with many requests report. I prefer buying the lifetime SSL from hostinger for $10 only or using the Let's encrypt SSL for free renewable every 90 days. Thank Emit 🙂

Are you saying cloudflare slows down website too?

[@oqba]

@@danielh9831 yes

[@goldkerux]

hey thanks for the clear video! Always the best ! Regarding the CABundle, it looks like it is no longer available on Cloudlfare, has it moved somewhere else?

[@goldkerux]

UPDATE: You would need to download the file "Cloudflare Origin ECC PEM (do not use with Apache cPanel) or Cloudflare Origin RSA PEM" and open with notepad, copy that and install :)

[@bryonmiller4326]

I need SSL because I am hosting my own site and my ISP blocks port 80, so when it will attempt to scan my site, unless it's going on port 443 which isn't configured because I have no SSL in the first place, how will I ever get an SSL? Do I have to pay for a hosting service for one month just to get access to an inbound port 80 so my site can be scanned, then I can move everything back? Hosting my own website is a pain in the ass, but I have the equipment and tons of ram and processor power, my host was charging for a garbage system with almost no ram and little space.

Thumbs Up! I want to go for full encryption mode straight away, do I need to change nameservers and install those plugins?

[@Emit.Reviews]

Yup. The only part you can skip is the flexible plugin. I found it glitches least and works best that way

[@robertzoufood]

Though you can go to your cPanel and click on Cloudflare and provision it with CNAME records instead. The only difference is that you would need to manage DNS in your cPanel instead of Cloudflare.

[@themarathonplace861]

[@davesradiorepairs6344]

Hey, wait a second.... This put CloudFlare in the middle of your SSL connections, and they can now sniff ALL your traffic.... CloudFlare sets up 2 SSL connection; One from the client and one to the web server. They sit in the middle of these 2 SSL connections, where the traffic is NOT encrypted... (This is the way a lot of so-called "VPN" services operate...)

if i am already hosting my website on hostinger , should i change nameserver from domain registrar or hostinger dns settings?

[@Emit.Reviews]

Original registrar. Make sure to point the domain to Hostinger and during cloudflare setup itll "snapshot" the IP address and once you change the nameservers to cloudflare itll still go to hostinger just through cloudways

[@slaybyvee7089]

I'm getting an error saying my site isn't pointing to there servers which is false. Do I need to change back to original host 🤔 then change back after hostinger allows me access or maybe my server hasn't uploaded completely yet I do recall you saying wait 15min twice 🤔

[@creationgraphics76]

thanks for your video bro..

[@TheCool1989]

I did exactly as explained. The site was down for a couple of minutes then it started working perfectly and the browser showed the Lock icon. However, next morning, all my devices (another PC, iPhone, iPad) started showing the "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" error. No matter what I did the site refused to open. I tried asking other people to try it, they could not get it to open. The only way I was able to get it to work is by using a VPN. The site worked perfectly when I use VPN, once I stop it, I see the "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" error. Could you please give my an insight! My web host is godaddy and it does not come with a cpanel access. Thanks

[@Emit.Reviews]

Hmmm very unique problem. Could you email me your website name? [e-mail] I could take a look and maybe find something. Since its working with a VPN that means the system is working, just that GoDaddy is blacklisting some IPs it seems

[@Emit.Reviews]

Cloudflare "saves" or "snapshots" your current DNS settings and reroutes them through their servers. When logging in to cloudflare youll always see the original destinations and youll be able to edit them inside cloudflare at all times.

after activating Really Simple SSL this error code still persists after a few hours. SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT it been hours and i cant access my wp admin page. What should i do? :(

[@Emit.Reviews]

This error is usually caused by multiple DNS configurations (meaning you're redirecting your IP to multiple places at once. Check if your provider doesn't have any additional entries in the DNS, maybe the nameserver update didn't go through)

that supscription says: This package is ideal for people with personal or hobby projects that aren't business-critical. does that mean its not a great option if you do have a business critical website ?

[@coastaldirect]

doesn't changing the dns nameservers also change the webhost? I am so confused by this.

[@Emit.Reviews]

Not with Cloudflare, since they're a CDN. Basically they act as a middle man. They snapshot all of your DNS records and just reroute traffic. So instead of your journey being A (Server) - B (User). It becomes A(server) - B (Cloudflare Delivery Network) - C (User) and on step B it gets encrypted.

Brother.. can you make a video on cloud hosting pros and cons And also suggest some good hosting providers that provides cloud hosting and also compare their features wrt their proces.. Thanks in advance..

[@Emit.Reviews]

Already doing tests on cloud hosting plans. So, the video will come once I have enough data about who's the best. For now, I recommend you check out Cloudways (premium plans) and Hostinger (cheap alternative). In short, cloud hosting will always be more powerful than shared hosting plans, the biggest pro is that it's easy to scale if you need more resources you don't need to buy another plan, you can add more resources to your existing plan. The biggest con is the price :) Check out some discounts on cloud hosting here emit.reviews/go/cloudways-2020 (3 day free trial) emit.reviews/go/hostinger-2020 (10% off using EMITREVIEWS)

Add a code line that forces HTTPS connection instead of HTTP. So everyone who enters using www. or HTTP will automatically be redirected to the secure HTTPS version.

[@psychedelic1brain]

Hello I redirect my domaine name to hostinger do I need to change dsn on hostinger or The outside domain name provider ?

All of the changes need to be made on the original provider. But before starting just make sure that the domain is already pointing to hostinger. That way clousflare can snapshot the IP

[@danielh9831]

If you do cloudflare full ssl, do you still need the flexible cloudflare ssl plugin installed?

Nope, it just fixes an issue you might run into with redirects when using the flexible version, you can safely remove it once the Full encryption takes place.

should i also wait if i get error 524 after installing the SSL?

[@shemgrumo311]

Does this affect the emails? There was this case happened when one of our IT partners changed the nameservers and our emails stopped working.

[@Emit.Reviews]

In this case you wont. Since Cloudflare still goes through your original nameservers. It just makes a "stop" inbetween cloudflare servers to verify traffic. Cloudflare acts like a middle man between point A and point B, it doesnt become a new point B

[@shemgrumo311]

@@Emit.Reviews Thanks for the clarification!

[@Emit.Reviews]

@@shemgrumo311 However you are correct that in most cases if you change your nameservers to other provider you also need too make sure your MX RECORDS (in the same DNS area) are updated with new values as well! Cloudflare is just a unique case :P

This will stay valid for 15 years? I will not have to update it every 90 days like Zen SSL?

Really, Cloudways allow us to install a free certificate. My question is What way do you recommend? Cloudways? Cloudflare? or Both? Thanks!

[@Emit.Reviews]

@@antoniogiroz Since Cloudways already has free certificates available I would use those. But I would still configure cloudflare for the CDN part of things (so you get better international loading speed). For that you just need to point the name servers, no need for the plugin or choosing SSL method in cloudflare.
