Origin SNI Request

The Origin SNI Request feature ensures that Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections to your origin server use the correct domain name during the handshake process. This is achieved by sending the Server Name Indication (SNI) extension as part of the connection request. The SNI is crucial when your origin server hosts multiple domains under the same IP address, as it allows the server to present the appropriate SSL certificate for the requested domain.

This feature is particularly important for dynamic content delivery, where secure connections are established frequently and need to support multiple domains efficiently. By enabling Origin SNI Request, you enhance the compatibility of your CDN with your origin server, ensuring smooth SSL/TLS connections.
