Untangle SSL not working? A small hack here for those that might be struggling adding a third party signed certificate to their Untangle firewall.

vSkilled uses CloudFlare as our CDN so that complicates things slightly when using SSL. We’re using the Full SSL (Strict) model which encrypts the connection between you and CloudFlare, and from CloudFlare to vSkilled’s web servers.
Enjoy!
