Cloudflare Error 526: Invalid SSL Certificate
With SSL mode Full (strict), the origin’s certificate is expired, self-signed, or doesn’t match the hostname.
NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (Your connection is not private)
The site’s certificate isn’t signed by a CA the browser trusts — self-signed, missing intermediates, or intercepted by a proxy.

The server’s certificate doesn’t cover the hostname you connected to.
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS with Cloudflare (Flexible SSL redirect loop)

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH on a Cloudflare site (certificate not issued / multi-level subdomain)
Cloudflare has no edge certificate for the hostname — the Universal SSL cert is still pending, or the hostname is a second-level…

Cloudflare Origin CA certificates are only trusted by Cloudflare — visitors reaching the origin directly (grey-cloud record, dire…
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR (This site can't provide a secure connection)
The browser couldn’t negotiate TLS — the server sent an invalid response, often plain HTTP on the HTTPS port.
OpenSSL: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number
The peer did not answer with a TLS record — you spoke TLS to a plain HTTP/SMTP port (or the reverse), or a proxy intervened.
OpenSSL: error:14094410 / SSL alert number 70 — tlsv1 alert protocol version
The server rejected the TLS version your client offered, because it requires a newer (or older) protocol.
NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID (certificate expired)
The site’s certificate has expired (or isn’t valid yet) — or the device clock is wrong.
OpenSSL: verify error:num=10:certificate has expired — notAfter=Jan 1 00:00:00 2025 GMT
OpenSSL's verification found a certificate in the chain whose validity period has ended.

curl cannot read the CA bundle file it is configured to use — missing file, wrong path or permissions.
curl (Windows Schannel): schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: CRYPT_E_NO_REVOCATION_CHECK (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate
Windows could not contact the CA's CRL/OCSP servers to check whether the certificate is revoked, so Schannel aborted.
OpenSSL: error:14094410:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure (SSL alert number 40)
The server aborted the handshake with alert 40 — no acceptable parameters (cipher, signature algorithm, client certificate or SNI…

The domain's DNS CAA records do not list the certificate authority you asked, so the CA must refuse.
Windows/IIS: A specified logon session does not exist / The certificate does not have a private key associated with it
