Enable SSL/HTTPS

We partnered with Starfield to provide HTTPS support to all plans. Once the firewall is enabled, and DNS propagation completes, the Starfield SSL certificate will be applied to the firewall servers for your site.

If you intend to use a custom SSL certificate instead, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the WAF dashboard -> HTTPS/SSL settings.
  2. Select Upload Custom Certificate to open the “Private Key” and “SSL Certificate” boxes:
  3. Paste your SSL certificate and private key in the corresponding boxes and select Save.

Send cert and private key to WAF

It can take up to 15 minutes for the SSL certificate to be fully activated.

If you don’t know how to find the SSL certificate and private key, please contact your hosting provider so they can provide this information.

Usually, for cPanel users, they are saved in the “SSL/TLS” item (Security box) -> Certificates (CRT) AND Private Keys (KEY) options. You can also find them using the “File Manager” item (Files box), under “ssl” folder of the left list menu.

NOTE
You don’t need to upload the certificate bundle (CA.bundle) as the WAF will append your SSL certificate authority root certificates automatically.
