Good evening, I am currently trying to set up a load balancer for my server, I successfully set everything up, however when I go to google domains to set ip record I get the following error "mysite.com unexpectedly closed the connection."

http://prntscr.com/npm0ot
Also when i type the ip manually in the browser I get the same error. However when I set my ip record to a VM machine ip that comes from my instance group the load balancer ip starts to redirect to my site. I would like to get the load balancer ip to work with my google domain records.

I think you are connecting to the load balancer using HTTPS. You do not have a front-end configured for HTTPS. Specify http:// and try again. If this is not the case, then go to Stackdriver and check the logs for your HTTP(s) Load Balancer.
Note: You have not provided enough information in your question. You need to provide the frontent, backend and healthcheck configurations.
Once you have everything working, your DNS resource record TTL should be longer than 1 minute - clients will constantly have to resolve your DNS names. Using a CNAME instead of A record adds another lookup. Use an A record instead.

I have setup a GCP load balancer following the steps as displayed on https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing/docs/https/ext-http-lb-tf-module-examples#with_a_backend . I have create an A record at my dns provider and I am succesfully able to reach my service through the domain name. I have also created a http to https redirecting load balancer, which only redirects when visiting the domain name.
However my problem is that I can also still directly access my load balancers ip adress over http, which in turn redirects to my backend service thus allowing insecure access to my service. I am not sure what steps there are to debug my configurations or if anyone has experienced something similar.
The simplest method is to redirect HTTP to HTTPS at your backend. That method provides you with more options and control.
Tip: if the client arrives at an IP address, you most likely want to discard that traffic. That traffic is typically hackers, trolls, etc.
You can also set up a redirect in the load balancer:
Set up an HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect for global external HTTP(S) load balancer
objective: Moving a website to Google Cloud with a load balancer using Google's managed SSL without downtime.
current configuration:
A Google Load Balancer with unmanaged instance group that currently has 1 VM.
The website is using a cpanel which I have access to update the DNS settings.
The domain has a wildcare positiveSSL certificate.
The website is also using cloudfront SSL.
Problem: The main issue I have is configuring and provisioning SSL.
Mentally, before making the move, I'm thinking it should be a breeze. No.....!
Situation:
I set up the load balancer but it can't provision the SSL because the domain is using positiveSSL on another server.
I read that I need to have a A record pointed to the load balancer in order for it to provision. I also read that for cpanel, if I were to make any changes to the A record, it will affect the mail service. I don't want the mail services to be disrupted.
I tried adding a new A record pointing to the load balancer's IP but it doesn't allow because the current A record is using Alias pointing to cloudfront's and I have to detach them first. I don't think this is a good move.
My planned ideal steps are to ensure the load balancer is functioning properly and pointing to the website correctly before I update the DNS.
I'm not sure if this approach makes sense technically, I set up a A record for a random subdomain to point to the load balancer's IP, the provisioning is successful but it returns an error
curl: (35) error:14084210:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert handshake failure
How should I go about doing it? I didn't know switching a server is so difficult.
Discard the wildcare SSL and cloudfront SSL from your domain and provision a google managed SSL instead.But before that, you need to create a managed zone in cloud DNS add your website as A record there pointing to server’s IP address, only then you will be able to provision SSL. It might require a little downtime which you can reduce using tactics mentioned in John’s link.

We are trying to setup ssl certificate for our domain, api.rideonstyle.in. We encountered a situation where the certificate status is in FAILED_NOT_VISIBLE. Tried all the steps that are suggested in the documentation .
Here are the screenshots,
We checked the conditions given in the documentation, when certificate status shows FAILED_NOT_VISIBLE. Looks like all the required conditions are met, but still we face this issue.
Updated the DNS records with the load balancer IP address.
Result from finding the IP.

SSL certificate is attached to the load balancer proxy, and added a forwarding rule to port 443.

Even after reading a few articles on stack-overflow / some other articles, we couldn't find the exact reason why it is happening this way. Previously it used to work properly, but in recent times, we are getting error from certificate.
certificate details
Can you please clarify how long have you waited after updating the DNS record pointing to the load balancer ip?
I'm requesting this information, since as per gcp documentation,it might take upto 24 hours for DNS record can be propagated and could take time for managed certificate to be provisioned.
Additionally, I would also recommend verifying the load balancer from GKE service and make sure you have attached the certificate to the correct load balancer.
SSl Certificate will not work for a TCP load balancer. It has to be HTTPS. In the screenshot where you see "Service Details" and the external endpoint, please scroll down until you see something like:
Load Balancer
Cluster IP
Load balancer IP
Load balancer (here you will have the LB name)
Copy it and then go to Network Services > Load Balancing. Find your load balancer, and if it says TCP it won't work. It HAS to be an HTTPS load balancer. Alternatively, you can install a self managed certificate in the backend. This would be done entirely on your own.
I have a kubernetes service I exposed with a custom domain name. When I try to access the service using custom domain, it fails (just loading forever). But if I use the IP, it works. Do I need to configure something somewhere? I am using GKE.
When I ping the URL, its trying to hit the correct IP. Also ping works.
The LoadBalance service is a layer 4 load balancer and thus only uses the IP to route traffic to your backend pods. If ping works and the site loads correctly when you use the IP address, this shows that the load balancer is directing traffic correctly.
There is likely a setting in your webserver that is looking at the URL and is having issues loading when a URL is used. Check your container logs to see if any errors are returned when you use a URL instead of IP.
I had a question about using the URL in my Load Balancer - and using it as the A Record for my DNS entry via GoDaddy...GoDaddy doesn't allow a URL, and insists on the A Record being an IP address and no other format. But I don't see this option available in the Load Balancer I created, only a URL.
What I have so far is this..
I've created a Load Balancer successfully using both HTTP and HTTPS, along with the RapidSSL cert I purchased and imported.
When I open my new Load Balancer item in EC2 dashboard, under the Description tab, I see an auto-generated URL next to DNS Name: http://ACThttp-617756314.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com (A record)
The above URL works fine in my browser. I went to plug this into GoDaddy'a A record in the DNS settings --- but apparently GoDaddy only allows an IP address to be used as an A Record...and not a URL like the one generated by EC2. I find this confusing since it literally says "A Record" next to this generated URL in my Load Balancer.
Does this mean I need to generate an IP Address inEC2 dashboard, so that I can use it in GoDaddy DNS settings? I'm guessing this is done via Route53...or could I skip this altogether and still find a way to connect my new Load Balancer to my DNS A record some other way?
However this is done, any help would be appreciated. If Route53, what are the exact steps I need to take? Or any other solutions, as much detail you could provide would be so so so helpful.
I've done this a few times successfully in the past, but it was a while ago and I can't recall how I connected them to the DNS properly.
Thanks!
You should use a CNAME record (not an A record).
A CNAME record points to another DNS name, whereas an A record points to an IP address.
Load Balancers should always be addressed by their DNS Name, so use a CNAME record.
