Add your first domain
Point DNS at the edge with a CNAME, then watch the certificate provision automatically.
Getting a site live takes three steps and no certificate paperwork.
1 · Point your domain
Create a CNAME record for your hostname that targets the ARC2 Proxy edge endpoint shown in your dashboard. The proxy verifies ownership automatically the first time a request arrives for that host.
www.example.com. CNAME edge.arc2proxy.com.2 · TLS is issued for you
As soon as the hostname resolves to the edge, a free Let's Encrypt certificate is provisioned over the HTTP-01 challenge and stapled with OCSP. Nothing to upload, and renewals happen on their own. See lets_encrypt_contact_email.
3 · Tune & ship
Add a forwarding target and a cache lifetime, then layer on compression, routing and security as needed. Every knob is documented in this KB — use the search box above to jump straight to a setting by name.
max_age_seconds (30–60s) while you confirm the origin behaves, then raise it once you trust the cache.
