After research, it was a server configuration issue and it's fixed and working as expected. Thanks.

Error 521 - Web server is down (Forge/Cloudflare/DigitalOcean)
Hi all,
I'm trying to host my project without success. www.programandoconsergio.com
When I load the site I get an "Error 521 - Web server is down" message from Cloudflare or "This site can’t be reached / ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED" sometimes.
I created a server using Laravel Forge, then I have Cloudflare managing the DNS (Domain from GoDaddy), and the droplet running on Digital Ocean.
I created an SSL certificate on Cloudflare, it's installed on Laravel Forge (main domain and a subdomain). The DNS options seem to be ok.
I don't know how can I solve this problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Sergio,

Hi,
It was a problem with the server configuration. NGINX in my case. Take a look and confirm that all the site configuration is in the right place.

What was wrong with your nginx config mine seems fine when doing configtest?

In Cloudflare SSL/TLS Tab
change encryption mode from Full to Flexible.

This worked for me!

@ashokrajc Be careful, check this:
Setting your encryption mode to Flexible makes your site partially secure. Cloudflare allows HTTPS connections between your visitor and Cloudflare, but all connections between Cloudflare and your origin are made through HTTP. As a result, an SSL certificate is not required on your origin.

Worked for me, too!

In my case:
sudo nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
pointed at the error, which was one or more SSL related files having a wrong path or were unreachable at the nginx configuration file. You can reach this file directly to FORGE, under your site and click on "Edit Files" and then select "Edit Nginx Configuration"
In my case at this file I modified the corresponding certificate and certificate keys
ssl_certificate /path/blabla/idNumber/server.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /path/blabla/idNumber/server.key;
be sure that you have ssl certificates already installed on your site. If you don't know how to generate these google "cloudflare ssl nginx" or "cloudflare ssl forge"
