SSL Error in Android WebView with Cloudflare Proxy ON
Hey everyone 
I’m running into a weird SSL issue with Android WebView when my site is proxied through Cloudflare.
Domain:
Error:
What’s happening:
* Site works fine on all browsers (desktop + mobile)
* Works fine on iPhones
* Fails on most Android devices
(WebView latest, Android 14/15)
* Works if I disable Cloudflare proxy (grey cloud)
* One of my other domains with similar setup (
* I noticed Cloudflare issued SSL certs from SSL.com for
* So it looks like Android WebView doesn’t fully trust SSL.com’s root CA, even on modern devices.
Steps I’ve tried:
* Checked Nginx config — fine.
* Toggled between “Full” and “Full (Strict)” modes.
* Disabled proxy — works.
* Waited for cert reissue — still SSL.com.
Questions:
1. Can I force Cloudflare to use a different CA (like Google Trust Services or DigiCert)?
2. Would Advanced Certificate Manager let me fix this?
3. Any known workarounds for WebView-specific SSL CA issues?
Any help or insight would be awesome
