AutoSSL Not Renewing with Cloudflare Proxy Enabled: Solution & Tips
Official Verified Solution
Solved by Tanvir Ahmed
Create a Page Rule / Configuration Rule in Cloudflare:
- URL Match:
*yourdomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/* - SSL Setting: Off (or bypass cache / security)
Alternatively, switch SSL mode in Cloudflare to Full (Strict) with a Cloudflare Origin CA Certificate (valid for 15 years) installed directly in cPanel SSL/TLS Manager! ๐ก๐
Whenever I put orange cloud (proxy) on Cloudflare DNS, cPanel Sectigo AutoSSL fails the DCV check (/.well-known/acme-challenge/). What is the recommended way to solve this without disabling the CDN?

The Cloudflare Origin CA Certificate method is brilliant! Installed in 2 minutes and never have to worry about 90-day renewals again. Thanks @tanvir.ahmed! โญ
