Enable

To enable Total TLS - which issues individual certificates for your proxied hostnames - follow these instructions:

To enable Total TLS in the dashboard:

  1. Log into the Cloudflare dashboard.
  2. Choose your account and domain.
  3. Go to SSL/TLS > Edge Certificates.
  4. For Total TLS, switch the toggle to On and - if desired - choose an issuing Certificate Authority.

Aspects to consider

  • Total TLS certificates follow the Common Name (CN) restriction of 64 characters (RFC 5280). If you have a hostname that exceeds this length, you can create an Advanced Certificate via API to cover it.
