When adding a domain, you will be asked to enter your ‘Origin address’. Here are a couple of methods to help you find the origin address of your domain.
Accessing your hosting service
Simply access your hosting service provider, locate and copy the server IP address, and paste that in the ‘Origin address’ field on the 'General’ page.
On Mac / Linux / Unix devices
Open the 'Terminal' app, and enter the following command:
dig {your site}
The 'Answer Section' is the tested results that contain an A record. The designated IP address serves as the origin address of your site.
On Windows devices
Launch the Windows Command Prompt app, either navigating to Start > Command Prompt or via Run > CMD. Now, enter the following command:
NSLOOKUP
set type=a
{your site}
Now the resulting IP address is the origin address of your site.
If you are already using a CDN, dedicated cyber protection service, or proxy, you should contact your webmaster or hosting provider for your origin IP. You might not able to locate the origin IP via this method.
