Setup
The creoline WAF is currently in the closed beta phase. Setup is therefore only possible via our new customer center. Some features of the creoline WAF are only available to a limited extent due to active development.
Setup
- Request beta access via our support team
- Log in via our new customer center at app.creoline.com
- Select the menu item Web Application Firewall → Create instance.
Enter the full domain name of your website to be protected as the domain name. Please note the strict separation of main and subdomains. For example, if your web server performs a 301 redirect from my-shop.com to www.my-shop.com, the variant with the subdomain must also be added to the WAF instance.
You can use either the IPv4 address or the DNS host name of your server as the upstream host. Please note that you cannot use the domain name of your website here, as this will be redirected to our web application firewall via DNS in the following step.
The next step is to adjust the DNS entries for your domain. If you want to protect a main domain, change the DNS entries with your DNS provider as follows:
Example for my-shop.com
| RR-Type | Host | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | my-shop.com | 5.1.73.191 | 3600 |
| AAAA | my-shop.com | 2a07:6fc0:1:0:7::213 | 3600 |
Example for www.my-shop.com
| RR-Type | Host | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | my-shop.com | edge.waf.creoline.net | 3600 |
As soon as the DNS records have been validated by us, we automatically issue a suitable SSL certificate, completely eliminating the manual step of issuing and renewing certificates for you.
