It also provides visibility into the status of installed services on the server, allowing users to stop or restart services as needed. The &quot;Enable SSL&quot; button will indicate readiness by turning green once the domain is attached to the server. If not, users may need to wait for a couple of minutes.</li></ul><div class="content-editor__unstyled"> </div>Upon successful deployment of the chosen method, users will receive a confirmation email. With SSL enabled, users can securely browse their websites using HTTPS.

knockd is a port-knock server. It listens to all traffic on an ethernet (or PPP) interface, looking for special knock sequences of port-hits. A client makes these port-hits by sending a TCP (or UDP) packet to a port on the server. This port need not be open -- since knockd listens at the link-layer level, it sees all traffic even if it's destined for a closed port. When the server detects a specific sequence of port-hits, it runs a command defined in its configuration file. This can be used to open up holes in a firewall for quick access.
