Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/2044

I am using Cloudflare tunnel on my server, and in its yaml conf I have pointed the internal IP of the NPM container. Currently I am using origin certificate from Cloudflare to access my apps with https, which I have added with the "Custom" option. However, I am unable to issue a let's encrypt certificate and I get this error:

There is a server found at this domain but it returned an unexpected data. Is it the NPM server? Please make sure your domain points to the IP where your NPM instance is running.

My domain doesn't point to an IP but to the tunnel id.

What can I do to fix this?

Try disabling proxy (yellow icon on cloudflare dns) or using API key from Cloudflare.

I'm trying to set-up the same. uing Cloudflare as DNS provider. Is there a manual or how-to on how to set this up? I Checked the installation manuals, but couldn't find anything. Disabling the Proxy on Cloudflare didn't help me, as I get the same error.
