Security Considerations
While fly.io is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
Custom Subdomains
fly.io allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.fly.io". An address like "paypal-secure.fly.io" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Fly.io, Inc..
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
