Private IPFS Gateways: Connecting Custom Domains#

With this update, we’re giving you more options for your storage gateway. Before, when storing files through the Fleek CLI, you’d get an IPFS.io.cid URL to access the content, using a shared IPFS gateway to view/resolve files.

Now, you can set up a custom domain for a private gateway for another layer of:

• Privacy & Branding: Only your content is served, and you are not responsible for the content of others on the same gateway.
• Reliability & Performance: Unlike public gateways, which are resource-locked, we provide a consistent file propagation experience.

The gateways will only serve your user-uploaded content, and you can also whitelist the domains that you work with. The big takeaway from this: private gateways are now faster and offer a more personalized & secure experience.
