I use CloudFlare for DNS for a variety of sites. I am using all three free Page Rules for custom caching, and I am trying to avoid upgrading to their Pro service to use Page Rules to force HTTPS. I have configured HSTS and submitted it for preload. I also have all port 80 connections on my server being redirected to a TLS connection. However, when fresh browsers are first trying to hit my sites over HTTP, they do not get redirected but see a CloudFlare 522 error (connection to origin server timed out). Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Here is my Nginx config (I omitted most of the 443 server block for security, but accessing site over HTTPS does work):
server {
server_name filterlists.com; rewrite ^/(.*)$ filterlists.com/ permanent;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name filterlists.com;
return 301 $server_name$request_uri; }
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name filterlists.com;
root /var/www/filterlists;

Your first server block is missing a listen directive, but we can make things more simple and performant by combining both server_name domains into one for port 80 requests, and using a redirect instead of a rewrite.
server {
# HTTP --> HTTPS
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name EXAMPLE.com EXAMPLE.com;
return 301 EXAMPLE.com$request_uri; }
server {
# remove 'www' subdomain
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name EXAMPLE.com; ssl_certificate /PATH/TO/CERTIFICATE.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /PATH/TO/KEY.key;
return 301 EXAMPLE.com$request_uri; }
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name EXAMPLE.com;
root /YOUR/SITE/DIRECTORY;
...
}
For this and many other Nginx configuration examples, I use H5BP's templates which cover most anything you would want to do.
