The primary purpose of using a Cloudflare Origin Certificate with pfSense is to enable end-to-end encryption between your pfSense firewall/web server and Cloudflare's network. This prevents Cloudflare from having to decrypt and re-encrypt traffic, and it also ensures that only traffic presenting a valid Cloudflare Origin Certificate is accepted by your origin server, enhancing security.
