Error Message

Cloudflare gives 520 " Web server is returning an unknown error" error. Then it gives 525 " SSL handshake failed" error after reloading the page.

Other Information

I transferred my old account (which was under attack) into this one and waited 72 hours after creation. However, when I tried to turn the SSL mode in Cloudflare to Full, it did the same thing every day including today (which is the end of 72 hours). I tried entering the website with different browsers (that might not cached it) and same thing happened to all of them. Is there something that I should’ve done in my cPanel/Cloudflare or is it acting like this for another reason?

I can load your website without problems.

That’s because I set SSL mode to Flexible for now. If I set it back to Full mode, this happens. I’m setting it to Full mode right now.

Create a Self-Signed certificate for your domain here:
https://app.infinityfree.net/ssls

Don’t worry about it not being secure because it will only be used between the server and Cloudflare.
Your users will see the certified Cloudflare certificate.

If you do this, you can then change Cloudflare SSL mode to Full.

When these problems first occurred, I tried it but had no luck with it. I know how to install the SSL certificates but at that time it didn’t do anything.
I have no idea how it was fixed right now. Thanks anyways.
