Q: SSL issues after DNS setup – does the WordPress plugin avoid this?
I tried setting up CloudFilt via DNS (A record), but it caused major SSL issues: browsers say “connection not private,” and the certificate doesn’t match the domain. I also got 502 Bad Gateway errors. I tried all protocol options (HTTP, HTTPS, both) and used the CloudFilt SSL, but no success. My site has been running with a valid SSL from the host for years. Now I’m wondering: if I install the WordPress plugin instead of changing DNS, will it work without breaking SSL? Or is the plugin a limited solution? I’d love to use CloudFilt but had to roll back for now. Any help appreciated!
