#Cloudflare DNS not directing to the updated IP Addresses

I updated my DNS records on Cloudflare this morning to point to a new IP address and it doesn't appear to be working.

The site is 100yss.org. The IP address is 170.187.146.46

Any advice?

Perhaps a firewall error?

If you don't have HTTPS configured on it, that's what you'd need to do. Enable HTTPS on port 443, and set it up with a certificate. If you don't have one, CF offers Origin Certificates which work with Proxy and last up to 15 years. Under SSL/TLS -> Origin Server (https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/origin-configuration/origin-ca/).
You could also use a Cloudflare Tunnel instead which work well, whole other setup though.

So, I'm using Cloudflare's Full SSL Edge Certificate which is universal. Does that need to be installed on the server?

#

And huge thanks!

Got it. Thanks!

You can technically pick SSL/TLS Mode Flexible where CF connects to your origin insecurely but it's horrible security practice, lying to visitors, and not actually end to end encrypted/secure at all. For actual security you need SSL/HTTPS on both ends.
