Hot on the heals of our detailed analytics release, we are excited to also offer a new lost traffic view. This feature provides insights into requests on EasyRedir managed hosts without configured redirects, allowing you to analyze unexpected traffic at a glance and conveniently create redirects as a batch or one at a time.
Find out more about this great new feature here and be confident that you are capturing all possible requests.
We couldn't be more happy to announce the general availability of our new detailed analytics features! With detailed analytics, you can gain further insight into how EasyRedir is processing traffic on your behalf. We've created eight new pages containing detailed charts and data tables that enable you to see exactly how much traffic has been processed across a variety of dimensions. We've also written an entire section of help pages about how to use this feature and how to understand that data we're presenting.
Our goal for detailed analytics is for you to confirm that EasyRedir is processing your URL redirects in the way that you expect, to reveal more information about the location and technology of your audience, and learn how they're finding your content.
We're also very excited to share two other features that are related to analytics in an upcoming release. Stay tuned - we're just polishing them up at the moment and expect to have further announcements soon!
We've just launched a new user experience for customers to manage their SAML single sign-on (SSO) integrations. Previously, SSO set up was completed by our support team upon the request from a customer that subscribed to an applicable plan. Going forward, customers on applicable plans will be able to set up and manage SSO configurations on their own. You can find these settings in your dashboard under Settings > Single sign-on.
We've also written a help article to walk you through the set up process.
We hope you enjoy the improved ease-of-use around SAML SSO configuration. Let us know if you have any questions as you get set up!
We're pleased to announce that we have shipped a variety of new features that enhance account security and help us detect fraudulent accounts automatically.
Our dashboard will now use a wide array of signals to compute a score of how trustworthy a particular account operation is. Examples of these signals include where you're accessing our services from (your location, network, device, etc), where you've previously accessed our services, whether your IP or device is associated with other accounts, and many, many more. If, after looking at these signals, we determine that we'd like more assurance that you are actually you, we may prompt you for a code that we'll send via email.
We will continue to refine and enhance this system over time to ensure your EasyRedir account is protected from account takeover attempts and other emerging threats.
Now that our API has been available for a few months, we've received some great user feedback to improve the integration experience with EasyRedir. Our latest updates are all about programmatically managing your hosts and redirect rules.
We've updated our API documentation to include these changes, you can find them here.
We are thrilled to announce the general availability of version 2 of the EasyRedir redirector edge network. We've been working behind the scenes for over six months to bring this to fruition and are excited to share what this means for you and how you can take advantage of it!
The EasyRedir redirector edge network consists of various devices that sit at the "edge" (i.e. the outermost layer) of our URL redirector infrastructure. Our new version has 96 points of presence (POP) around the world and uses a technology called Anycast. With Anycast, requests are automatically routed to the closest POP, which then routes the request inside of our private network to our closest data center to finish processing the request. The benefit to your visitors is that this type of processing dramatically lowers the latency that users can experience worldwide and gets them to where they are going faster. Anycast enables us to add or move the data centers we use to process requests without requiring our users to modify their DNS settings. V2 also provides us additional tools to combat DDoS attacks, which further improve reliability going forward. In the future, as additional POPs will be added, your visitors will experience even better performance globally.
To take advantage of the improved global performance our V2 edge network, you will need to make a one-time change to your DNS settings for each hostname you want to use it. Your EasyRedir dashboard will now highlight any opportunities to improve your DNS configuration, including using our new V2 edge network. We've also built a dedicated, detailed DNS setup information page that gives you personalized settings and more background on best practices around DNS configuration.
We will continue to support V1 of our redirector edge network going forward - including maintaining its current set of IP addresses and CNAMEs. Having said that, we consider V1 to be deprecated and future improvements to EasyRedir may only be deployed to our V2 infrastructure. This significant new feature further highlights EasyRedir's commitment to our global customer base and maintaining our status as the world leading enterprise-class URL redirection service.
If you have any questions about how to start using our new V2 edge network, or the benefits to you, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'd be happy to help!
We just shipped some additional functionality that enables you to quickly delete all the source URLs from selected source hostnames, and also allows you to remove source hostnames from your account. We wrote a help article to help you understand how this works as well.
This new functionality is available to all customers on all plans. 🎉
We wanted to let you know about a few small but helpful improvements we've made around the EasyRedir dashboard.
We’re excited to announce the general availability of additional functionality related to source hostnames. Source hostnames are the hosts that you serve redirects on through EasyRedir. We’ve added a lot of fantastic new features that you’ve been requesting.
On select plans, we’ve also significantly increased your ability to configure security related HTTP headers on redirector responses.
There's a lot more where that came from. Stay tuned for more features set to be launched within the coming weeks!
We have increased the requirements for password complexity. Going forward, all new user accounts and account password changes will require the following minimum password complexity be met:
