So, I tried linking my Lemmy instance akaris.space but it says the ssl handshake failed and i can't seem to figure out what went wrong.

Set the SSL mode to "Full". Then go to "Rules" and create three rules. This is also the order in which they should be processed:

1.
Name: lemmy u all
Custom filter expression: URI path equals /u/*
All other options disabled.

2.
Name: lemmy nodeinfo all
Custom filter expression: URI path equals /nodeinfo/*
All other options disabled.

3.
Name: lemmy inbox all
Custom filter expression: URI path equals /inbox/*
All other options disabled.

This should get your instance running behind Cloudflare's tunnel.

What do I put for "rule type" on Cloudflare? ex: redriect or route request, transform request/response, modify configurations

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oops sorry about that, you want them all as configuration rules

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've left all of the actions off

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

action parameters are required for the set_config action

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

So sorry, it's been a while.... Add the following actions:

Browser integrity check (Then turn off)
Disable RUM
Disable Zaraz
Email Obfuscation (Then turn off)
Fonts (Then turn off)
Hotlink Protection (Then turn off)
Opportunistic Encryption (Then turn off)
Rocket Loader (Then turn off)

the domain says parked

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

That looks like a DNS issued I'd think. Maybe double check the tunnel and your DNS records just to make sure they're pointing correctly?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you, it shows akarisarea.xyz as a white screen and www.akarisarea.xyz as an SSL handshake error

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Okay! It looks like when I go to NS, the nameservers say X on DNS checker
