When you configure an Alert List to receive UP or DOWN notifications for your servers, our developers believed that more is better. So true to form, if a server goes down, you’ll receive an alert for every port from each of the 7 regions around the world that we currently monitor from. For many customers, […]
View articleYes, we absolutely do, and always have. Before we supported SNI, we recommended that clients with multiple domains on a single IP address use a SAN (Subject Alternative Name) extension certificate. To use one of these, simply attach it as a standard SSL certificate (that is, do not check the SNI box when attaching it). […]
View articleIf you just use one of our built-in monitors, like the Default HTTP, it will simply attempt to load the web page with the IP address of the attached device and look for an HTTP 200 response code. Often, this is a perfectly quick and accurate monitor, but this doesn’t always work. For example, I […]
View articleYes, you sure can. We’re seeing this more and more. IPv4 addresses are near exhaustion and they are becoming scarce. Some ISPs and hosting companies are now charging handsomely for them, others are simply not giving them out anymore. Well, you need not fear at Total Uptime because we make it easy. You can place […]
View articleYes, we sure do. We have a REST-style API specifically for this purpose. You can find more information here.
View articleYes, you sure can. Single-sign-on is all the rage these days, and why not, it makes life a lot easier (and more secure) for users. We absolutely support load balancing ADFS through the load balancer. In fact, it is actually quite easy. The only port you typically need is 443 for your SSL traffic. If […]
View articleYes, we sure do. This fairly recent extension of the TLS protocol allows you to indicate which hostname is being contacted by the browser at the beginning of the handshake process. This allows a server to connect multiple SSL Certificates to one IP address and load the correct site or application for the user. Previously […]
View articleYes, absolutely. There are no issues using their SSL certificates on our platform for Load Balancing or the Web Application Firewall. In fact, we already have the Let’s Encrypt Authority Intermediate certificate loaded into our repository and ready for your use. You can upload certificates manually through our UI, or you can automate/script the entire […]
View articleIf you have a Windows machine, temporarily adding a line to the hosts file is the easiest way to test a DNS change before actually making it live. This article outlines the steps you can perform to test. The location of the Hosts file can usually be found in %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\ where %systemroot% is usually C:\windows, […]
View articleWhen the Cloud Load Balancer or WAF connects to your server or device to send traffic, it typically uses a proxy IP address tied to that region. This is by design to ensure that return traffic comes back through that region so it can be sent back to the end-user/client while maintaining session management/state awareness, […]
