Update Cloudflare TLS Authenticated Origin Pulls Certificate by 11th January 2020

Cloudflare has detected that your configuration is using our Authenticated Origin Pulls feature. Recently, we renewed the certificate that our edge network presents to your origin due to the upcoming expiration of the current certificate on January 11, 2020 .

To ensure uninterrupted service, you need to update your origin server to authenticate with the new authenticated origin pull certificate anytime before January 11, 2020 .

You can find the updated certificate and follow the instructions for updating popular origin servers in this Cloudflare Help Center article: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/204899617/

You can also just turn off authentication pulls and disable Cloudflares edge certificate. That’s what I do. I don’t like using their certificates.
