How to Use the Domain Access Panel ​

When using the domain access panel, it is recommended to create a new A record specifically for accessing the panel, for example: panel.example.com

If you use the domain record of a website, the browser may prompt a certificate issue, which will prevent normal use.

Tutorial Environment: ​

Access Panel via Domain ​

  1. Add an A record in your domain registrar. The IP of the A record should point to your server's IP, as shown: alt text

  2. Access the panel directly using the domain: https://panel.example.com:7800/safe_entrance

  3. Deploy the Panel SSL Certificate: Deploy SSL

  • Bind domain in the panel Settings? Not recommended. After binding domain, you can only access the panel via the domain, and access via IP will be blocked.

    How to unbind the domain: Clear the domain content or use the command to cancel: bt 12

Access Panel via Domain Reverse Proxy ​

  1. Add an A record in your domain registrar. The IP of the A record should point to your server's IP, as shown: alt text

  2. Add a website and set up reverse proxy

    If the website and the panel are on the same server, it is recommended to use 127.0.0.1

    • Target URL: https://127.0.0.1:7800 (Note: Do not add the safe entrance path here)

  3. Deploy SSL certificate for the domain's website alt text

  4. Access the panel: https://panel.example.com/safe_entrance

  5. Enable to obtain real IP access: Setting --> CDN Proxy

Access Panel via CloudFlare Proxy ​

CloudFlare proxy only supports specific ports; port 8443 is used here.

  1. Add an A record in your domain registrar. The IP of the A record should point to your server's IP, as shown: alt text

  2. Change the panel's port to 8443 or another port supported by CloudFlare proxy: CloudFlare ports

    If the server has security group, please open the corresponding port in the security group of your server provider.

  3. Access the panel: https://panel.example.com:8443/safe_entrance

  4. Enable to obtain real IP access: Setting --> CDN Proxy

Deploy an SSL Certificate for the Panel ​

Can Panel SSL be disabled? Not recommended. Using an SSL certificate enhances the panel's security; after disabling it, you can only access the panel via http.

  • File Verification: You need to first add an A record in your domain registrar. Wait for it to take effect before proceeding with verification. If the domain is managed in the Domains module, the A record will be added automatically.

  • DNS Verification: Follow the prompts to add a TXT record. Wait for it to take effect before proceeding with verification. If the domain is managed in the Domains module, the TXT record will be added automatically.
