Easiest SSL Ever, Now Included Automatically with Every Paid Plan
Nov 5, 2011Matthew Prince
Summary
This post introduces a significant simplification and enhancement to Cloudflare's SSL offering. Previously a complex, paid add-on requiring manual configuration and waiting periods, SSL is now automatically included with every paid plan at no additional cost. It introduces a 'flexible' SSL mode that encrypts traffic between visitors and Cloudflare's network, making SSL accessible even for platforms that don't support server-side certificate installation. This dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for website security.
