Do I have to pay to use this service?
+No, it's free.
+Can I use this certificate on my commerce website?
+Although there's no technical reason why you couldn't use the sslip.io SSL key and certificate for your commerce web, we strongly recommend against it: the key is publicly available; your traffic isn't secure. sslip.io's primary purpose is + to assist developers who need to test against valid SSL certs, not to safeguard content.
+What is the sslip.io certificate chain?
+The sslip.io certificate chain looks like the following:

+ + +Note that the "root" certificate is "AddTrust's External CA Root", which issued a certificate to the "COMODO RSA Certification Authority", which in turn issued a certificate to the "COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA" which in turn issued + our certificate, "*.sslip.io". +
My webserver wants a certificate and an "intermediate certificate chain"—where do I get that?
+Certain web servers (e.g. Tenable's + Nessus scanner) prefer to split the chained certificate file (which has three concatenated certificates) into two files: one file containing a single certificate for + the server itself (e.g. the "*.sslip.io" certificate), and a second file containing the intermediate certificate authorities (e.g. the two COMODO certificate authorities). +
You can split the chained certificate file by hand, or you can download them, pre-split, from GitHub: +
+Why can't I use dots in my hostname? xip.io lets me use dots.
+Do I have to use the sslip.io domain? I'd rather have a valid cert for my domain.
+If you want valid SSL certificate, and you don't want to use the sslip.io domain, then you'll need to purchase a certificate for your domain. We purchased ours from + Cheap SSL Shop, but use a vendor with whom you're comfortable. +
+ +What does the certificate chain look like?
+Do you have support for IPv6-style addresses?
+Why did you choose a 4096-bit key instead of a 2048-bit key?
+Where do I report bugs? I think I found one.

sslip.io is a special DNS domain (sslip.io) that maps crafted hostnames to IP addresses (e.g. 192-168-0-1.sslip.io maps to IP address 192.168.0.1). Combined with a valid wildcard SSL certificate, it provides trusted SSL connections +

First, find your server's IP address to determine its sslip.io hostname.
-Your server's sslip.io is a mash-up of your server's IP address and the sslip.io domain. Here are some examples:
