I have free Universal SSL with CloudFlare. I wanted to set up a permanent SSL redirect on my website. I change A-name to IP my droplet on digitalocean and when i try to use https-protocol i get error: 521 (ssl handshake filed) and loop
I think, that is necessary to change standart settings in configuration apache2, but what to change and where?
Previously, I used shared hosting by godaddy and never encountered this problem. Please help me!

I had the same issue, I noticed that my SSL was on “Full”, but my server doesn’t support SSL, so I changed it to Flexible (e.g. USER <SSL> CF <PLAIN> SERVER)
If you require FULL SSL, you should make sure that your SSL works even without CF through https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
