When taking a website live on Staq, you might encounter the browser error ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH<\/code>. This error indicates a configuration issue with Cloudflare that needs to be addressed to resolve SSL\/TLS issues. Follow the steps below to troubleshoot and fix this error.<\/p>\n

Steps to Resolve ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Please log into the domain’s Cloudflare account and follow the steps below.<\/p>\n

Verify Edge Certificates<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most likely, this is the problem here if the Universal certificate is set to pending.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Navigate to SSL\/TLS<\/code> > Edge Certificates<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  • Look for the status of the Universal Certificate. If it shows as Pending Validation (TXT)<\/code><\/strong>, this indicates that validation is incomplete. Complete the validation process so that it updates the status to Active<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  • After activation, wait a few minutes and then test if the website loads correctly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    If all else fails, please follow the steps below.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Verify DNS Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Navigate to DNS<\/code> > Records<\/code> page in your Cloudflare dashboard.<\/li>\n
    • Ensure that the DNS records point to Staq servers.<\/li>\n
    • Confirm that the Cloudflare integration into Staq is correctly set up and that the proxy feature is enabled. Improper integration can affect SSL generation and the proxy functionality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Check SSL\/TLS Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Go to SSL\/TLS<\/code> > Overview<\/code>.<\/li>\n
      • Make sure that the SSL\/TLS setting is configured to Full (strict)<\/code>. This setting ensures that Cloudflare verifies the SSL certificate on the origin server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Configure HTTPS Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • On the same Edge Certificates<\/code> page, ensure the following settings:\n
            \n
          • Always Use HTTPS<\/strong>: Enabled. This setting forces all HTTP requests to be redirected to HTTPS.<\/li>\n
          • Minimum TLS Version<\/strong>: Set to TLS 1.0<\/code>. This ensures compatibility with older clients.<\/li>\n
          • Opportunistic Encryption<\/strong>: Enabled. This allows for encrypted connections even if not all connections can be encrypted.<\/li>\n
          • TLS 1.3<\/strong>: Enabled. This provides improved security and performance with the latest TLS protocol.<\/li>\n
          • Automatic HTTPS Rewrites<\/strong>: Enabled. This helps in automatically rewriting URLs to HTTPS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

            By following the steps above and ensuring all settings are configured correctly, you should be able to resolve the ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH<\/code> error with Cloudflare. If the issue persists after completing these steps, you may need to review additional Cloudflare settings or consult Cloudflare support for further assistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-36528","knowledgebase","type-knowledgebase","status-publish","hentry","categories-cdn-diagnose","categories-ssl"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH with Cloudflare - Managed Hosting Platform for WordPress<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wpstaq.com\/knowledgebase\/err_ssl_version_or_cipher_mismatch-with-cloudflare\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH with Cloudflare - Managed Hosting Platform for WordPress\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"When taking a website live on Staq, you might encounter the browser error ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH.
