Synaps Media

Synaps Media

— 1 min read

Synaps Media provides a fully managed CDN for all of our sites. That means you don't need to put a CDN like Cloudflare in front of Synaps Media. But if you want to use Cloudflare as CDN, it's possible to use it by giving some attention to some details. In this document, we'll focus on those points.

💡
If you use Cloudflare as DNS server only (without enabling proxy mode aka "orange cloud") then you don't need to consider anything special to Cloudflare. Everything would work as expected like a standard DNS configuration.

Use Full Encryption Mode

When you add CNAME record on Cloudflare with proxy mode on, Cloudflare may enable "Flexible SSL mode" by default.

This can cause infinite redirect loops because our system always redirects http traffic to https, to make sure your visitors are always navigate your site securely. We suggest to use "Full mode" in Cloudflare SSL to avoid this. You can set it on SSL/TLS page of your domain.

If you still have issues to use your custom domain with Cloudflare, please don't hesitate to reach out us with support chat.
