Security Considerations

While sslip.io is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.

Custom Subdomains

sslip.io allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.sslip.io". An address like "paypal-secure.sslip.io" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not sslip.io.

Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
