Just thought I'd expand on this part of your comment: "cloudflare.com was giving me a 502 error from ngnix, which indicates a cloudflare-backend problem" Everything is a backend (ex: your server). Your CF hosted website is a backend to their front end (Nginx). Except the "backend" here is located in a remote network where your actual server is hosted. So it could very well be a routing issue between their network (Nginx nodes) and your server. Hence the 502 (backend unreachable). Regards
