My domain appears to be broken. Not sure when or why that happened; I can still connect remotely in the Android app, however that works, but when I enter the domain in my web browser I get either an “Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.” error from my browser or an “SSL handshake failed” error from CloudFlare depending on whether I enter mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com.

I can still get there with my IP address, though I was under the impression something in my NGINX config was supposed to prevent that.

I've changed nothing recently.

I specifically don’t allow the web to work as it often transcodes so mine is blocked by the Cf WAF rules.  Only emby apps can work.  The side affect of that is that 99% of the bot attacks go to the subdomain itself so they also get blocked.

I don't know what that means or how it applies to my issue.

CF can be very technical yes.  And I am only using 1% of it......

Is that browser on the same android device?

It wasn't, but I get similar errors on a browser that is.

Well, having changed nothing, it now works fine.
