For starters, it seems like your website is using Cloudflare right now. That means Cloudflare is responsible for installing an SSL certificate that secures the connection between your browser and Cloudflare. If that’s not working for any reason, please check it with Cloudflare. That said, please also note that any DNS changes can take up to 72 hours to take effect.

In this system, Cloudflare secures the connection between your visitors and Cloudflare, but not the connection between Cloudflare and your website. Not only is this less secure, some websites (notably WordPress) have trouble detecting whether HTTPS is in use, causing all sorts of issues. The best way to resolve this is by using Full SSL in Cloudflare. This way, the connection between Cloudflare and your website is encrypted, and your w… --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/err-ssl-protocol-error/87536)._
