Usually, we use the domain name to access the website, but in some cases where the domain name is not convenient to use, we need to use the IP address to access. I believe that many people have encountered the situation that the website also prompts "insecure" when accessing the IP address. In fact, this is the same as the prompt "insecure" when accessing the domain name, because the SSL certificate is not deployed.
An SSL certificate is a digital certificate encrypted between the client browser and the Web server using the secure socket layer (Secure Socket Layer), a network security protocol. After deploying the SSL certificate, the website access link will be upgraded from HTTP to HTTPS, and the information transmission will be encrypted, which can effectively prevent user information leakage and traffic interception. However, the SSL certificate needs to be obtained after submitting an application and verification, and the configuration will play a role on the server after passing.
An IP SSL certificate is also a type of SSL certificate, because it is issued to an IP address, so we call it an IP SSL certificate. When the access IP address shows "unsafe", network operation and maintenance personnel should pay attention. Our information transmission is still transmitted in plain text using the traditional HTTP protocol. User data is easily intercepted and tampered with. It is recommended to apply for one SSL certificates are safer. Moreover, the IP address is less recognizable than the domain name. If it is a commercial IP address, it is recommended to apply for an enterprise version IP SSL certificate to protect the website information security, because the enterprise version IP SSL certificate can display the name information of the website organization unit, allowing users to directly Identify the real identity of the website.
The operation of applying for a certificate is simple. Generally, only the following operations are required:
Provide specific public IP address to WoSign CA business personnel;
Can temporarily open port 80/443 to verify IP management authority;
Don’t worry if you don’t know how to apply for and use the certificate, we will provide free technical support until the certificate is installed and deployed. At the same time, we will provide help if there is any problem during the service life of the SSL certificate.
