Custom domains

If your domain's DNS records are not hosted on Cloudflare or you are an OEM partner hosting multiple customers (domains), you will need to add support for Custom domains.

Custom Hostname

First, we will need to enable Custom Hostnames. Click on "Account home" and select the domain that you will use for EdgeTag. In the left menu select "SSL/TLS" -> "Custom Hostnames". You will need to enable it (100 domains is free).

After it is enabled, you need to add a Fallback Origin. Normally, you would set it up as fallback.mysite.com or customers.mysite.com (mysite.com is your domain in Cloudflare).

To connect to the newly created Fallback Origin, click on DNS in the left menu and add the following record:

Type: AAAA Name: customers (or the name that you used in the Fallback Origin) Content: 100::

API Token

The last step in Cloudflare is to update API Token permissions. Go to "Manage Account" -> "Account API tokens" and click on edit of your EdgeTag token.

We will need to add two more permissions:

  • Zone -> Zone (read)

  • Zone -> SSL and Certificates (edit)

Host configuration

Now, we will need to return to EdgeTag and check the Custom Hostname option for the Host.
