SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS - Setting Up Cloudflare Origin TLS Certificate

This tutorial covers setting up an Nginx web server with Cloudflare's SSL certificates. It explains the process of creating an origin certificate, configuring Nginx to use SSL, and testing the setup.

• Access denied

What are the two options for generating a private key and CSR in Cloudflare?
