Quick Start

Domain Access

After activating the service, you can log in to the Cloud Protection console, navigate to 【Security & Acceleration】 -> 【Domain Management】 in the menu bar to add domains. Adding domains will distribute the relevant configurations to Cloud Protection nodes without directly affecting your live network operations. To officially enable Cloud Protection, you need to configure CNAME. For specific steps, please refer to Configure CNAME.

Adding a Domain

Go to the Domain Management page and click 【Add Domain】 as shown below:

add-domain

The Add Domain page consists of three sections:

  • Domain attribute configuration
  • Origin server configuration
  • Cache feature configuration

Cloud Protection will recommend cache feature configurations based on your selected domain attributes and origin server settings, which can be submitted without modification.

Part 1: Domain Attribute Configuration

Fill in your business service domain in the Domain field (as shown below):

Configuration details:

​​Domain​​

  1. Domain length should not exceed 50 characters.
  2. Domains can be subdomains like a.test.com, a.b.test.com, or wildcard domains like *.test.com, *.a.test.com.

​​Port​​

  1. Default ports are 80 or 443.
  2. Users can customize ports, such as 8080, 8443, etc. Important notes:
  3. Port number range: 1-65535.
  4. Some ports used by the Cloud Protection system do not support customization, such as 22, 25, 75, 76, 77, 161, 22122, 25555, etc.

​Package​​

  1. Select the plan you have purchased.

Part 2: Origin Server Configuration

Configure your business origin server information. Cloud Protection nodes will pull and cache resources from the origin server when they are not cached (as shown below):

Configuration details:

​​Backend IP or Domain​​

  1. Supports setting multiple IPs as origin servers, with round-robin for origin pulls.
  2. Supports configuring a domain as the origin server, which must be different from the accelerated domain.

​​Load Balancing​​

  1. Round-robin.
  2. Session persistence.

​​Origin Settings​​

  1. Origin HOST refers to the site domain accessed by CDN nodes when pulling from the origin server.
  2. For subdomain access, it defaults to the accelerated domain but can be customized.
  3. For wildcard domain access, it defaults to the actual accessed subdomain but can be customized.

Part 3: Acceleration Service Configuration

Configure node acceleration service settings (as shown below):

Configuration details:

​​Basic Configuration​​

  1. Node cached resources follow a Key-Value mapping, where Key is the resource URL.
  2. Enabling parameter filtering will ignore parameters after "?" in the URL for the Key mapping.
  3. Disabling parameter filtering will use the complete resource URL as the Key.
  4. Static acceleration type is disabled by default, while download and VOD business types have it enabled by default.

​​Cache Rules​​

  1. Node cache expiration time configuration. By default, no caching is applied.
  2. The configured node cache expiration time is the maximum duration. Actual cache time may vary depending on node storage resources.

Completion

Click 【Confirm Submission】 to complete the domain addition. The status will change to 【Deploying】. Please wait 3-5 minutes until the status changes to 【Active】.

Note: After completion, Cloud Protection will assign a corresponding CNAME address. You need to complete the CNAME configuration for the Cloud Protection service to take effect. For details, please refer to CNAME Configuration.
