# How to Add Reverse Proxy

> Comprehensive guide to linking custom domains or free subdomains to your Pterodactyl server

The **Reverse Proxy** feature allows you to connect your own domain or create free subdomains so that your web apps, APIs, or bots can be accessed via standard HTTP/HTTPS ports (80 & 443) with active SSL certificates.

***

### 1. Mandatory: Set Cloudflare SSL/TLS to "Flexible"

When connecting your **Own Domain**, ensure your domain is registered on Cloudflare and its encryption mode is set to **Flexible**:

1. Open your [Cloudflare Dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com) and select your domain.
2. In the left navigation, go to **SSL/TLS** -> **Overview**.
3. Select **Flexible**.

</Frame>

<Warning>
  **Flexible mode is required!** Setting encryption to *Full* or *Strict* will cause **521 Web Server Is Down** or **525 SSL Handshake Failed** errors.
</Warning>

***

### 2. Navigate to Server Subscription & Domains Tab

1. Log in to the [Aisbir Cloud Portal](https://portal.aisbirnusantara.com).
2. In the left sidebar, click **Services** -> **Server Subscription**.
3. Click the **Domains** tab next to the Servers tab.
4. Click the green **Add Domain** button.

### 3. Choose Domain Setup Type

A popup modal will offer two choices:

* **Create Subdomain**: Get a free subdomain under our managed domain (e.g. `*.lezats.net`).
* **Use Own Domain**: Point your own domain managed by Cloudflare to your server.

After generating records, the system displays two DNS records to configure:

In your Cloudflare dashboard under **DNS** -> **Records**, add:

1. **A Record**:
   * **Type**: `A`
   * **Name**: `@` (or subdomain prefix)
   * **IPv4 address**: Server IP shown on the portal (e.g. `172.93.185.195`)
   * **Proxy status**: **Proxied** (Orange Cloud ☁️ Enabled)

2. **TXT Record**:
   * **Type**: `TXT`
   * **Name**: `@` (or subdomain prefix)
   * **Content**: Configuration string (e.g. `"origin=172.93.185.195 port=pterodactyl"`)

## Done 🎉

Once DNS propagates, your domain is live and securely routed to your Pterodactyl server with SSL encryption!
