About This Repository and DNS Name

+ +

SSL Config Generator was a tool that Mozilla's security team built and maintained from 2014 to 2026. In 2026 the tool and codebase was handed over to an open source community working group.

+ +

Over the time that the tool was hosted by Mozilla, many websites and tools out on the internet have been created which reference the tool through links either to ssl-config.mozilla.org or to specific URLs of the tool which render an SSL config for the user (also on ssl-config.mozilla.org).

+ +

In order to prevent all of these links on websites and in other tools from breaking when the tool was transitioned away from Mozilla, we're keeping the ssl-config.mozilla.org DNS CNAME and the Mozilla GitHub repo with GitHub Pages up as a redirect to the new site. If the DNS name or the GitHub repo get deleted, then all of those links in other tools and sites will break.

+ +

What Needs to Be Retained

+ +

Specifically, there are two things that need to be retained:

+ +
    +
  1. The archived https://github.com/mozilla/ssl-config-generator GitHub repository: This contains a single GitHub Pages page which redirects users to the new site.
  2. +
  3. The ssl-config.mozilla.org DNS CNAME which resolves to mozilla.github.io.: This causes those links to resolve to GitHub Pages so that the user fetches the redirect.
  4. +
+ +

If you have any questions about this setup, feel free to contact the open source community working group that maintains the new site using the contact form at https://tlsref.org/.
