Important Note for Existing Annual Pro Customers

If you had previously completed the DNS based SSL setup by updating your domain DNS records to point to our SSL proxy address 151.139.128.10, please generate and install the new premium SSL certificate for your site following above given tutorial. Once after successfully installed, please revert back your domain DNS records to your original server / hosting IP address i.e.,:

  • Primary “A” record of your domain must point to IP address of your hosting server
  • IF there is “A” record with hostname “www“, please delete it.
  • CNAME record with hostname “www” should point to your non-www domain

You’re required to make this transition from SSL proxy to premium SSL certificate before March 10, 2023 to avoid site disruption due to shutdown of our SSL proxy service.
