You can use Oracle’s Load Balancer and Web Application Firewall Service V2 (WAF V2) to help you configure support for a custom URL for a Visual Builder instance.

When you configure a custom URL for a Visual Builder instance, (for example, https://<my-custom-url.com>/ic/builder/), you can access your instance directly using the custom URL. When you publish an application from the custom URL, the application will use the custom URL (for example, https://<my-custom-url.com>/ic/builder/rt/).

You can also configure a Visual Builder app to use a custom URL, also called a vanity URL, so that customers can access the app using just the base custom URL (https://<my-custom-url.com>).

The WAF V2 service allows you to define a policy that will map a custom domain name to the WAF service as the front end for your VB service as the origin server. To do this you'll use a public load balancer for managing the certificates in your tenancy. You can set up the load balancer in Oracle's Load Balancer service.

By using WAF to map your chosen DNS name to a VB service, you can manage the mapping of your DNS name and uploading your associated certificate and private key yourself instead of configuring the VB instance to manage them.

These instructions assume you have direct access to a Visual Builder instance and to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Console. For more details on using your instance behind a WAF or an API Gateway, see:
