  1. If your Cloudflare record is proxied with the orange cloud in front of a Railway custom domain, set the SSL/TLS encryption mode to Full
  2. In the Cloudflare dashboard go to SSL/TLS then Overview and select Full
  3. Enable Universal SSL under SSL/TLS then Edge Certificates when using wildcard subdomains
  4. Understand that Railway uses the default up.railway.app certificate for Cloudflare to Railway traffic when it cannot issue a certificate for the proxied domain
