recently i got a domain for my brothers so they could use it on their minecraft server, but didnt know how to code or didnt have any money to use it, so I helped them.
I decided that i wanted to use cloudflare as my SSL provider, since they give a free shared cloudflare certificate, but im having issues with it, here is my problem:
When i go to https://, it displays:
https://axiatinc.stop-pings.me/377ff2a3.png
I have absolutely no idea why it does this, it is secure, but none of my site data shows, I have tried to go to like https://example.com/index.php or https://example.com/folder/image.jpg, but nothing works. Id really appreciate some help with this, as I want to get HTTPS up and running hopefully tonight.
I have it temporarily fixed by using flexible SSL instead of Full, i still want to use full, if someone could help me be able to use full and not get the error message that would be great!
I am trying to set custom domain for my Firebase app.
Firebase hosted url : https://inventory-app-726af.firebaseapp.com/
Custom Domain: inv.agsft.com
I have followed all instructions as part of setting custom domain but after verification step when I click on finish button, status will always be "Needs Setup".
I am managing DNS through cloudflare (https://www.cloudflare.com/) and I am following Quick setup option.
Any pointers to resolve it?
I had the same problem, I was able to resolve it by toggling the DNS Status on cloudflare from DNS and HTTP Proxy (CDN) to just DNS on the two A records
It started working right away.
The proper solution, ie without disabling Cloudflare for the site, is to use Full SSL for your domain/subdomain.
You can either choose Full SSL for all your domain entries, or set up a Page Rule for a specific subdomain, in your case, use "inv.agsft.com/*"

Had the same issue and this solved the redirect issue. Firebase will however still report the domain as "Needs setup", for that I have no solution, but it does not affect the functionality of the hosting.
For the people that is using Namecheap, This configuration worked for me.
To avoid any kind of ssl issues when using firebase hosting and cloudflare you have to check to following points:
You don't need to toggling the DNS Status on cloudflare from DNS and HTTP Proxy (CDN) to just DNS on the two A records unless you don't want the cloudflare ssl certificates and want to just use the firebase ssl certificates (look to this carefully because you will loose the protection that cloudflare provides to your site in case you decide to use only the clouflare DNS)
If you "keep the cloud orange" it will not causes any problem to your firebase hosting.
Add the firebase IP's to cloudflare following the instructions provided by firebase hosting and remove any other A record from your domain/subdomain that you are setting up
To ensure you have a end-to-end encryption (using both firebase ssl as well as cloudflare ssl), make sure that your cloudflare crypto options is set to "Full":
Use a page rule likes in case that you want your root domain to receive all trafic:
In your firebase hosting setup, do the same:
p.s: Look that the message "Needs setup" is still there but the app is running without any problem.
p.s2: the majority problems regarding cloudflare and firebase is that firebase ssl can take several hours to start to work and you keep seeing a message like "your connection is not private". It happens not beucase cloudflare is messing our proxy out but because firebase ssl is still not fully propagated.
I hope it help others :)
In my case I did the same that Brennen did:
toggling the DNS Status on cloudflare from DNS and HTTP Proxy (CDN) to just DNS on the two A records.
But just start working when I:
Delete the domain from firebase. (click on the : points select delete domain)
refresh the firebase site
Added again in Quick Setup. I already had the A record added in Cloudflare so I didn't added again.
After that automatically the status added was connected.
Remember: Before testing, clean your browser cache.
When I run dig -t txt +noall +answer inv.agsft.com there are no TXT records showing. Since those are required to verify your ownership of the domain, Firebase Hosting will not continue the setup beyond step one.
Update: since the next step requires you to map A records to the IP addresses of Firebase hosting, I ran the relevant dig too:
$ dig -t a +noall +answer inv.agsft.com
inv.agsft.com. 299 IN A 104.18.56.240
inv.agsft.com. 299 IN A 104.18.57.240
Those are not the addresses I'd expect for Firebase Hosting, so it looks like either you haven't correctly entered the A records, or they have't propagated yet.
When I change my setting like below, it started to work again.
Redirect loop fixed:
For GoDaddy this adding the following solved it for me:
TYPE:A
NAME:#
VALUE: your ip_1
TYPE:A
NAME:#
VALUE: your ip_2

Just wanted to share what was successful for me. It was a combination Brennen and Lisbel's answer.
Step 1: Toggle off your DNS status to get a grey cloud (as shown in the earlier answer)
Step 2: Delete the domain from firebase
Step 3: Add it back with Quick Steup
It should be connected after these steps!
I had the same issue. Here's how I fixed it:
1) Cick the View button on the problematic domain (in the Hosting section next to where it says Needs Setup).
2) Change the 'Setup mode' from Quick Setup to Advanced and follow the 3 steps
2a) Open your domain provider's settings (I'm using Google Domains) and add the TXT record it's giving you.
2b) Wait about 4-12 hours for verification
2c) Add the provided A records into your domain provider's settings
This is not a quick process, but it should be working about 5 minutes after you complete step 2c.
Toggling DNS mode didn't work for me. So I tried following approach and it worked for me.
Add CNAME record pointing to {firebase-project}.firebaseapp.com or {firebase-project}.web.app, you could add A record and try.
ADD TXT record as firebase ask you
Verify from firebase (this will show as needs setup, also it didn't go away although this worked)
If new domain/subdomain doesn't works check your browser developer tools network tab. If there are lots of 301 happening then go to cloudflare page rules. Add newdomain.com/* or subdomain.newdomain.com/* then add settings select SSL and set it to full as follows.
Then it will work as expected.
Working as of 11st May 2022 without need to toggle DNS and HTTP Proxy (CDN).
Steps:
Go to Cloudflare Dashboard.
Select SSL/TLS.
Select Overview.
Select Full option for SSL/TLS encryption mode.
After that, refresh your website that previously have issue to access.
Now the website can access successfully.
I run a website affectionaries.com that has a valid SSL certificate hosted by Hostgator.
It has come to my attention that when searching in Google for terms such as "Affectionaries" or "Cupcakes Runcorn" an other domain appears higher up the SERP's using my meta data an is unrelated to my business. If you click the link for (https://www.miamiboxpanama.com/) then it takes you to an insecure warning page! Under advanced it tells you:
www.miamiboxpanama.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: affectionaries.com, www.affectionaries.com Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
I can not figure out what is going on here...
So far I can see that this domain is on the same nameservers and IP address as my site.
Has anyone have experience with this and know a solution to resolve this matter?
www.miamiboxpanama.com resolves to the same IP address as affectionaries.com (192.254.231.2). So both names lead to the exact same web server, and therefore also the exact same SSL certificate. Since that certificate is only for the name affectionaries.com, the browser correctly issues a warning when the name it used was www.miamiboxpanama.com.
This looks like a configuration error at Hostgator. You may want to contact them and ask what's going on.
Some users trying to visit my website are getting a warning explaining "This is probably not the site you are looking for".
One of them sent me a screenshot (I'm sure we've all seen this screen before at some stage):
I'm using an SSL cert signed by StartSSL. It's signed for shareshaper.com and www.shareshaper.com.
You can see that the screenshot says that the user attempted to reach www.wamrc.com. I've never heard of that site before. For some reason though, when I visit www.wamrc.com I end up on my staging server.
I've tested my SSL setup with a number of online testing sites and they all report that everything is fine. I can't seem to replicate the issue myself.
What could be causing this error?
Some Other Thoughts
I have another StartSSL certificate I use on my staging server. This one is valid for staging.shareshaper.com and (I assume, can't quite remember) shareshaper.com.
One user who get the warning was using iPad Safari. Another OS X Chrome.
wamrc.com appears to belong to some dude called Oscar Arbelaez.
The issue was initially reported in this Reddit thread
For example it could be an incorrect DNS A-record for www.wamrc.com (pointing to your IP), or an incorrect cname for the same one, but all this is essentially included in the message in the screenshot.
Your server is misconfigured. Its reporting itself as www.wamrc.com.
You need to talk to your hosting provider.
I have two "Web Sites" running under IIS6 (Windows Server 2003R2 Standard), each bound to a separate IP address (one is the base address of the server).
I used SelfSSL to generate and install an SSL certificate for development purposes on one of these sites and it works great. I then run SelfSSL to generate a certificate for the second site and the second site works, but now the first site is broken over SSL.
I run SSL Diagnostics and it tells me:
WARNING: You have a private key that corresponds to this certificate but CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey failed
If I re-run SelfSSL on the first site (to fix it), the first site works but then the second site is broken.
It seems like SelfSSL is doing something in a way that is designed to work with only one Website, but I can't seem to put my finger on exactly what it's doing and figure out how to suppress it. I would manually configure SSL but I don't have a certificate server handy, but maybe there is a way to get SelfSSL to just gen the cert and let me install it?
FWIW I have also followed the guidance of several posts that indicate changes to the permissions of the RSA directory are in order, etc. but to no avail. I don't work with SSL everyday so I may be overlooking something that someone with more experience might notice, or perhaps there is a diagnostic process that I could follow to get to the bottom of the issue?
We had a similar problem today. Our IT guy said he solved it by basically using ssldiag instead of selfssl to generate the certs.

I have to admit I don't fully understand what happened, but I'm on the programming side rather than the network admin side.
