Server error

525 525 SSL Handshake Failed

Cloudflare could not complete a TLS handshake with your origin server, usually because the origin certificate is missing, expired or invalid for the SSL mode in use.

Common causes

  • Full (strict) mode with a self-signed or expired origin certificate.
  • No certificate installed on the origin at all.

How to fix it

  • Install a valid origin certificate, or switch the encryption mode to one your origin can satisfy.
