Origin lockdown

If attackers can find your server, nothing else matters

A proxy only protects traffic that goes through it. Origin lockdown makes sure that's all of it: proxy every record, hide the IP from DNS and email headers, and lock the origin's firewall to the edge.

What you get

Exposure check

The panel scans your zone for records that leak the origin IP — mail, ftp, cpanel, old subdomains — and proxies them in one click.

Origin authentication

The edge signs every request with a rotating key; your origin can reject anything that didn't come through Greenproxy.

Lockdown guide

Step-by-step firewall instructions for cPanel/CSF, ufw, iptables and cloud security groups, with the exact edge addresses to allow.

Strict origin TLS

A platform-issued origin certificate and edge client certificate so the origin only speaks to the edge.

How it works

In the panel

Open the Origin protection card on any domain: it lists what's exposed, what to change, and verifies the lockdown from the edge once you're done.

Questions

Can my origin still send email?
Yes, but mail sent directly from the origin carries its IP in headers. The guide covers routing mail through a relay.
