Edge Proxy
Put a web proxy in front of a site, give a game server a join address, and connect game servers you host elsewhere.
In the dashboard
A proxy is a hostname that Coritan's edge answers for. The edge takes each visitor's or player's connection for the name and forwards it to your server, which can be hosted here or anywhere else. Proxies are for people who run a website or an app, and for people who run a game server.
Kinds of proxy
Section titled Kinds of proxy- Web proxy
- Puts a hostname you hold, such as
www.example.com, behind the edge. The edge answers HTTPS for it with a free certificate, checks requests with the web application firewall (WAF) and forwards them to your origin: one of your servers here, or any public address. Use one for a website, an app or an API (How web proxies work). - Join address
- A name under
coritan.gg, such assurvival-smp.coritan.gg, that players type in their game to reach one of your servers hosted here. It carries Minecraft Java, Minecraft Bedrock or another game that connects over TCP (How join addresses work). - External server
- A join address for a Minecraft Java or Bedrock server that you run somewhere else, such as at home or with another host. You order it as a plan (How external servers work).
- coritan.gg name
- A free name under
coritan.gg, such asalex.coritan.gg, with a DNS zone on your account. A web proxy can serve it, or a name under it, when you have no domain of your own (Claim a free coritan.gg name). - Custom domain
- A name you own, such as
play.example.com, where players can join a Minecraft server as well as at its join address (Use your own domain for a join address).
The Edge Proxy page
Section titled The Edge Proxy pageIn the dashboard, select Edge Proxy in the sidebar. The page lists every proxy on your account.
Three cards sit at the top:
- Proxies
- How many proxies the account has, split into web proxies and game proxies, such as
Web 2 · Game 3. - Join domain
- The domain that every join address ends in, such as
coritan.gg. - Needs attention
- How many proxies have something to look at: a certificate that is not active, an external server that does not answer, a custom domain whose
CNAMErecord has gone, or a status such assuspendedorpending. Select the card to list those proxies.
The tabs split the list:
- All lists every proxy, with its Address, Type (
Web,Java,BedrockorTCP), where it Forwards to, its Health (such asTLS activeorOnline), its Status and the date it was Created. - Web lists web proxies, with the Domain, the Origin, the Certificate and the Protection badges. The
WAFandHTTPSbadges are filled in while each is on, andDev modeappears while development mode is on. - Game lists join addresses and external servers, with the Join address, the Edition and the Server list entry. The Backend column shows an external server's check (
Online,Offline,SuspendedorNot checked) and a custom domain that is not working yet or has stopped (CNAME pendingorCNAME lost).
Type in Search proxies to find a proxy by its name, its address or where it forwards. Filter the list with All, Active, Needs attention or Suspended. Select a row to open the proxy, and All proxies at the top of its page to come back.
New proxy… creates any kind. It asks what the edge answers for (Website or app, Minecraft Java, Minecraft Bedrock or TCP service), then where to forward (A server hosted here or A server elsewhere). For a game, A server elsewhere opens the order page for an external server.
When one kind of proxy fails to load, a warning such as Could not load your web routes appears above the list, and the rest of the list still shows. Select Try again to load it again.
What you can do
Section titled What you can doWeb proxies:
- Create a web proxy
- Change a web proxy's origin
- Redirect requests with rules
- Customise the error page
- Change a web proxy's settings: the WAF, HTTPS, caching and development mode
Game servers:
- Create a join address for a server hosted here
- Customise the server list entry that players see in their game
- Use your own domain for a join address
- Connect a server you host elsewhere, and manage its plan
Names and problems:
A website hosted here has its web proxy on its own page as well (Manage a website's web proxy).
How Edge Proxy is billed
Section titled How Edge Proxy is billedWeb proxies and join addresses for servers hosted here come with no order and no invoice, and so do coritan.gg names. An external server is a plan that you order and renew like any other service (Manage an external server's plan).
Limits and availability
Section titled Limits and availability- A hostname has one web proxy across all of Coritan, and a name under
coritan.ggbelongs to one join address or claimed name. - A TCP service join address forwards only to a server hosted here. An external server carries Minecraft Java or Minecraft Bedrock only.
- A Minecraft Bedrock join address takes players on Bedrock 26.50 and newer (Editions and ports).
- A server hosted here or an external server has at most one custom domain.
- An account holds up to 3 coritan.gg names.
- When your account does not offer a kind of proxy, the page leaves out its tab, and New proxy… leaves out its choice or marks it
Not available on this account.
