 * Greetings,
 * Is there a way to exclude Cloudflare from dedicated https pages, just like the
   functions.php tweak you showed for CDN?
 * The reason is to avoid getting redirection errors in browsers. We simply want
   to show our own SSL certificate.
 * Thanks in advance for answering,
    Angie

 * The only real way to do this right now, if your intention is to have your SSL
   certificate show, is to move your SSL to a subdomain & then add the subdomain
   to CloudFlare as something we don’t proxy.
 * We might have a solution for users to use their own certificates in the future.
   Is there a reason you don’t want CloudFlare to also proxy the SSL portions of
   your site, besides the issue with the cert name showing?

 * Thanks for responding, Damon,
 * We have a dedicated, private certificate, correctly installed and activated in
   Plesk (confirmed by GeoTrust), established on an exclusive IP address.
 * It is important for us to show our own certificate for a number of reasons. One
   of them being the trust worthiness. Another would be the way it influences our
   ranking in relation to our competitors.
 * Using a subdomain would not work for the certificate we purchased.
 * Any ideas?
 * Sincerely,
    Angie

 * Hi,
 * The only way to really show your own SSL would be to upload your own SSL to CloudFlare.
   This does, however, require a Business Level account (200.00 month) to display
   your cert:( The only other workaround is the subdomain option mentioned.
