<h3>What is it?</h3>
<p><b>sslip.io</b> is a special DNS domain that maps crafted hostnames
to IP addresses (e.g. <i>192-168-0-1.sslip.io</i> resolves to <i>192.168.0.1</i>).
Combined with a valid sslip.io wildcard SSL certificate installed on your server, it allows
your server to present a valid SSL certificate when browsed to using the
crafted sslip.io hostname. It works for your webserver, your docker registry, etc....
All in a matter of seconds.</p>
<p><b>sslip.io</b> is a means for developers to test against valid SSL certificates
without the bother of purchasing them. Two components make this possible:</p>
<ol>
<li>a special DNS backend that maps crafted hostnames to IP addresses
(e.g. <i>192-168-0-1.sslip.io</i> resolves to <i>192.168.0.1</i>) (similar to xip.io)</li>
<li>a wildcard SSL certificate for *.sslip.io and the corresponding key, both downloadable
from GitHub</li>
</ol>
<p>A developer can install the certificate and key on the
server, configure the server's name to its sslip.io fully-qualified domain name,
(e.g. <i>52-0-56-137.sslip.io</i>), and then browse to the server via HTTPS using the
sslip.io FQDN. All in a matter of seconds.</p>
<h3>How do I use it?
</h3>
<p class="lead">First, find your server's IP address to determine its sslip.io hostname</p>
