- andrewvc 13y agoWhat, I thought you had to pay? Yup, it says you have to pay
- chc 13y agoYou have to pay for the business plan. If you're already paying for that, the SSL is free. Unless they've changed how it works and I've just gotten grandfathered in or something.
- iancarroll 13y agoNope, they issue it for you. I believe that's pro and up.
- tlrobinson 13y agoWhile I like Cloudflare, it's worth noting you give up true "end to end" encryption SSL normally provides. It's entirely possible for Cloudflare to allow others to eavesdrop on your traffic, and in fact I think the connections between Cloudflare and your servers are normally unencrypted. Basically, using Cloudflare SSL is good for protecting your customers from eavesdroppers on WiFi, not so good for protecting against NSA surveillance. But it's probably better than nothing.
- chc 13y agoWhether the connection between you and Cloudflare is encrypted is up to you. It's right in the same box as the option to turn on encryption in the first place.
