Hello,
If you have not configured an SSL certificate on your droplet, you would need to open port 80 as well so that CloudFlare could connect to the droplet.
I would recommend checking out the official documentation on how to set that up as well:

And also if you are interested in setting up end to end HTTPS, you could take a look at this article here:
