Item | Description |
Instance name | The name must be 1 to 200 characters in length and can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). |
Security Configuration | Default protection: Enabled by default, for details, please refer to DDoS Protection Overview. Exclusive DDoS Protection: For details, please refer to the usage of Exclusive DDoS Protection. |
Fixed IP | When enabled, users can access through a fixed IP address. |
IPv6 access | If you enable this feature, EdgeOne nodes can be accessed over the IPv6 protocol. |
Chinese MLC- border acceleration | When enabled, it will optimize the access performance for Chinese mainland users. For details, please refer to Cross-Regional Secure Acceleration (Overseas Sites). |
Note:
Fixed IP, IPv6 access, and Chinese MLC- border acceleration cannot be enabled at the same time, and there is a conflicting relationship between security protection configuration and access configuration in different acceleration regions. The conflicts are as follows:
Security Protection Configuration | Feature | Global (MLC Excluded) | Mainland China | Global |
Platform default protection | Fixed IP | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ |
| IPv6 access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Chinese MLC- border acceleration | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ |
Exclusive DDoS protection | Fixed IP | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ |
| IPv6 access | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ |
| Chinese MLC- border acceleration | ✓ | ✕ | ✕ |

Note:
1. If you specify
Origin group
for Origin type, you can specify only self-owned origins. In this case, a COS bucket is not supported as the origin.2. You can specify at most 2,000 forwarding rules for each L4 proxy instance.
Item | Description |
Rule ID | Auto-generated, not supported for modification, unique identifier of the rule. |
Forwarding protocol | Forwarding protocol of L4 proxy. Valid values: TCP and UDP. |
Forwarding port | The supported port number ranges from 1 to 64999. You can enter multiple ports separated with semicolons (;) or use a hyphen to enter a port range. You can enter up to 20 ports in a forwarding rule. The following ports are reserved for internal use, please do not use them: For TCP forwarding protocol: 3943, 3944, 6088, 36000, 56000. For UDP forwarding protocol: 4789, 4790, 6080, 61708. |
Origin type and Origin address | Single origin: If you specify Single origin for Origin type, you can enter the IP address or domain name of a single origin.Origin group: If you specify Origin group for Origin type, you can select an origin from an existing origin group, or create an origin group. |
Origin port | You can enter a single port or a port range. If it is a port range, the forwarding port must also be a port range, and the length of the origin port and forwarding port ranges must be consistent. For example: If the forwarding port range is 80-90 , the origin port range can be 80-90 or 90-100 . |
Session persistence | As long as an origin server IP remains unchanged, traffic from the same client IP will always be forwarded to the same origin server IP. |
Pass client IP | TOA: Pass client IPs via TCP Option (type 200), which only supports TCP protocols. Proxy Protocol V1 (recommended): Pass client IPs as plaintext by using the TCP header, which only supports TCP protocols. Proxy Protocol V2: Pass client IPs by using the header. V2 uses the binary format and supports both TCP and UDP protocols. Each data packet carries a PPv2 header for TCP, while only the first data packet carries the header for UDP. Not passed: Real client IPs will not be transferred. |
Rule Tag | Optional, you can enter 1-50 any characters to identify the forwarding rule. |
7. Click Save to complete the configuration of the L4 proxy rules.
