Overview
Encrypt your web traffic to prevent data theft and other tampering.
Through Universal SSL, Cloudflare is the first Internet performance and security company to offer free SSL/TLS protection. Cloudflare SSL/TLS also provides a number of other features to meet your encryption requirements and certificate management needs.
Total TLS
Extending the protection offered by Universal SSL, Total TLS is an easy way to automatically issue certificates for all levels of subdomains that you have.
Delegated DCV
Even if you use a different provider for authoritative DNS, you can delegate domain control validation (DCV) to Cloudflare, reducing the need of manual intervention.
Custom TLS settings
Cloudflare also allows you to specify the minimum TLS version that visitors must use to connect to your website or application, and restrict cipher suites according to your security requirements.
Refer to features and availability for a complete list of SSL/TLS features and their availability according to different Cloudflare plans.
When you use Cloudflare DNS, all DNS queries for your domain are answered by Cloudflare’s global anycast network. This network delivers performance and global availability.
Cloudflare for SaaS allows you to extend the security and performance benefits of Cloudflare’s network to your customers via their own custom or vanity domains.
