Yes, an outdated TLS version on your origin server can cause a 526 error. Cloudflare enforces a minimum TLS version for security reasons. If your origin server only supports older, insecure TLS versions (like TLS 1.0 or 1.1), the handshake will fail. Upgrade your origin server to support TLS 1.2 or 1.3.
