Flywheel + Cloudflare, SSL Settings

Tech | 0 comments

The official flywheel documentation on how to configure SSL when using Cloudflare does not work in results and redirect loops.

Here is how to actually set it up.

1. Force HTTPs to be on for the Flywheel site under the advanced tab:

Force HTTPS setting is enabled, redirecting all site requests over HTTPS.

2. Configure Cloudflare SSL to “Full” mode:

The "Full" SSL/TLS option is selected, which enables end-to-end encryption when the origin server supports SSL certification but does not use a valid, publicly trusted certificate. Other options include "Strict," "Flexible," and "Off." The sidebar menu highlights the "Overview" section under SSL/TLS settings.

3. Under “Edge Certificates” enable “Always Use HTTPS”
