But everyone will still know it ' s you because you ' re the only person in the world who counts discounted future job income in net worth calculations D <| sep |> I ' ll take a look . <| sep |> Probably would have got tasered but worth it D <| sep |> If you want to use Cloudflare and support , you ' re going to need to use their SSL . You can certainly provide your own certificate and private key , but they ' ll have access to that and terminate SSL on their servers . As for the communication between Cloudflare and your origin servers , you ' d need a certificate for that too either a regular trusted certificate , or one from their internal Origin CA . If you ' re letting your origin server take care of SSL , then that ' s not really an origin server , it ' s just your web server , and you ' re using Cloudflare as a DNS provider only . They won ' t do any WAFDDoS filtering , etc . in that scenario . Not that everyone necessarily wants or needs that ! Just to define what people typically mean when they say site X uses Cloudflare .
