<h1>FAQ</h1>

<p class="lead">Do I have to pay to use this service?</p>
<p>No, it's free.</p>
<p class="lead">Can I use this certificate on my commerce website?</p>
<p>Although there's no technical reason why you couldn't use the sslip.io SSL key and certificate for your commerce web, we <i>strongly</i> 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.</p>
<p class="lead">What is the sslip.io certificate chain?</p>
<p>The sslip.io certificate chain looks like the following:</p>

<p></p>
<p>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".
<p class="lead">My webserver wants a certificate and an "intermediate certificate chain"&mdash;where do I get that?</p>
<p>Certain web servers (e.g. <a href="http://www.tenable.com">Tenable's</a>
<a href="http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus-vulnerability-scanner">Nessus</a> 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).
<p>You can split the chained certificate file by hand, or you can download them, pre-split, from GitHub:
</p>
<ul>
<li>the server
<a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cunnie/sslip.io/master/ssl/sslip.io.crt.pem"></a>certificate ("*.sslip.io")</li>
<li>the intermedicate certificate
<a href=""></a>chain (the COMODO CAs)</li>
</ul>
certificates (certificates of the Intermediate Certificate Authorities), they prefer for those certificates to be placed in a separate file. You can find the
<a href="intermediate certificate chain">isolated</a> which can consist of one</p>
<p class="lead">Why can't I use dots in my hostname? xip.io lets me use dots.</p>
<p class="lead">Do I have to use the sslip.io domain? I'd rather have a valid cert for my domain.</p>
<p>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
<a href="https://www.cheapsslshop.com">Cheap SSL Shop</a>, but use a vendor with whom you're comfortable.

<p class="lead">What does the certificate chain look like?</p>
<p class="lead">Do you have support for IPv6-style addresses?</p>
<p class="lead">Why did you choose a 4096-bit key instead of a 2048-bit key?</p>
<p class="lead">Where do I report bugs? I think I found one.</p>

<h3>What is it?</h3>
<p><b>sslip.io</b> is a special DNS domain (sslip.io) that maps crafted hostnames to IP addresses (e.g. <i>192-168-0-1.sslip.io</i> maps to IP address <i>192.168.0.1</i>). Combined with a valid wildcard SSL certificate, it provides trusted SSL connections
