Who needs the custom configuration?<\/h3>\n

If the 3 items below match your case, then the custom config is needed:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use Cloudflare as your domain’s DNS provider<\/li>\n
  2. Have a status page with custom domain in Uptime Robot<\/li>\n
  3. Have the “Crypto” setting as “Flexible” in Cloudflare<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to make the custom config?<\/h3>\n

    That is so easy:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Login to your Cloudflare account<\/li>\n
    2. Click the domain of your status page<\/li>\n
    3. Click “Page Rules>Create Page Rule”<\/li>\n
    4. Enter *MyStatusPageCustomDomain* (like *status.mydomain.com*) into “If the URL matches” field<\/li>\n
    5. Click “Add Setting>SSL>Full”<\/li>\n
    6. Click “Save and Deploy”<\/li>\n
    7. That’s it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And, here is a screenshot of the setting:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \"Custom<\/a>In case it’s not working check the change the DNS settings to OnlyDNS (grey cloud) instead of Proxied (orange):<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
