AngkasaIO WAF DNS Records

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a web service that helps route visitors to websites by converting human-readable domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into numerical IP addresses (e.g., 192.0.2.1) that computers use to communicate.

A DNS record links a domain or subdomain to a specific destination, such as an IP address or another domain. If you want to use GitLab Pages with a custom domain, you’ll need to update your domain’s DNS settings through your registrar’s control panel, pointing it to your GitLab Pages site.

The process of adding DNS records varies depending on the hosting provider. Each domain registrar has a different interface for managing DNS settings. If you don’t have administrator access to your domain or DNS settings, you may need to contact your hosting provider’s technical support for assistance.

Type of DNS Record

A record

A DNS A record maps a host to an IPv4 IP address. It points a root domain as example.com to the host’s IP address as 192.192.192.192.

Example:

example.com   A   192.172.68.12

CNAME record

CNAME records define an alias for canonical name for your server (one defined by an A record). It points a subdomain to another domain.

Example:

www     CNAME     example.com

This way, visitors visiting www.example.com are redirected to example.com.

MX record

MX records are used to define the mail exchanges that are used for the domain. This helps email messages arrive at your mail server correctly.

Example:

MX      mail.example.com

Then you can register emails for users@mail.example.com.

TXT record

A TXT record can associate arbitrary text with a host or other name. A common use is for site verification.

Example:

example.com     TXT     "_aio-waf-dns-verification.example.com TXT aio-waf-dns-verification-code=ZzeR1xnYHpiOTEzs3ztTAOn2qhYcRxZ47YVvCEGGEX4ZaJLUbD8n1qVNrtzjaV4ZYafKzjUtlqrEGVyGEApWrX0DguKZSmkXVmK1fON4YC60DQRaiJnjSCGX0TIwKK50"

This way, you can verify the ownership for that domain name.
