What you need to start with Deflect #

  • Have a domain name
  • Control the DNS for your website
  • Know your website’s IP address and login URL (option for extra security)
  • A valid email address

What is the process? #

  1. Sign-up at https://dashboard.deflect.network
  2. We will send you an email with details to set your password for the Deflect control panel. Confirm your account and set up security settings;
  3. In the meantime, follow the prompts to set up your website.
  4. When everything is ready, we will send you a notification and instructions to proceed with pointing your DNS nameservers (NS) to Deflect

Note: If you choose to install free Let’s Encrypt certificates during registration, they will be generated once the DNS resolves to Deflect. During the interim period (approximately 10-30 minutes) your visitors may receive a certificate warning in their browser.
