This video series will show you how to setup Xenforo 2 on CentMinMod with Digital Ocean & Cloudflare. I'm not an expert but I will do my best to show you everything I know. This tutorial is for beginners.
Full vs Strict SSL Cloudflare settings
No SSL on origin = Flexible mode
Self Signed or Let's Encrypt = Full
Let's Encrypt or other CA cert = Strict
Cloudflare Force SSL Redirects & Re-writes
Always use HTTPS = redirect all queries for HTTP to HTTPS
HTTPS Re-writes = On the CDN side, it will replace all your internal links from HTTP to HTTPS, therefore you don't need to change all your internal links. Also, less server load because it's done on the CDN side.
