Error 521 SSL Cloudflare

Posted on December 27, 2016

Hello,

I installed WordPress on my Ubuntu droplet and activated Cloudflare SSL.

Now when I am trying to go to the site, the site is, as usual, redirecting to https version but is returning error 521. How do I rectify this error?

Thanks, Krishna
