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