I just got these, when trying to quote 2 posts.

I had to close Firefox and restart to get past this.

This is quite a frustrating set of errors. The SSL one is rubbish:

https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200278659-Error-525-SSL-handshake-failed

We are using Cloudflare's certificates on the origin server, and if it wasn't configured correctly, nothing would work.

The server software (nginx and php-fpm) hasn't been restarted since yesterday afternoon.

I've been through the server logs (access logs for the site, and error logs for the software). There is nothing showing any errors at the time, and it seems that the issue only happens to one person at a time. If it was an issue with communication with Cloudflare and the server, everyone accessing the site would be getting the errors.

@scottcaddy - was this around 12:56 / 12:57 UTC? (about 10 minutes before you posted)

Just realized this is a good place to post my sincere thanks to all the techs and Nifty for their great work on the new site. I LOVE IT!

I think that is the right time frame. I was trying to quote scott when i recd the message and was referred to a read only version for a few minutes. Then back up no problem.

OK, so I think I know what this specific issue was. I was sending a backup of the forum files to Amazon S3. The problem is that is can use the whole network bandwidth, so I need to put a rate limit on sending stuff to S3, as it will use the while Gigabit port.
