Cloudflare manages the TLS certificate. You can use Cloudflare's default Universal SSL certificate, or you can upload your own custom SSL/TLS certificate. Cloudflare handles the certificate provisioning, renewal, and encryption/decryption process, relieving your origin server of this responsibility.
