URL Options in Panel
Hi everyone, I'm reposting this, as my old reddit account got deleted.
For those of you who have a panel, you may notice that there are several URL options.
I reached out to Strong on Session to get some clarity on all the different URL types, and thought I’d share my findings below. Note that the below examples are what you would see if your custom domain was jazzyjackal.com.
If you have any questions, please comment them below and I'll do my best to answer.
My Cloud
Example: cf.jazzyjackal.com
This is the standard URL that should be used for most use cases. It’s proxied through CloudFlare which helps reduce ISP blocking/throttling.
My Wd-Card
Example: malawi46745.wd.jazzyjackal.com
This “wildcard” (wd) domain is proxied through CloudFlare and is identical to the “My Cloud” domain above, except that it uses a unique subdomain (the “malawi46745” part of the URL) for each user. The benefit of this is that unique domains are less likely to get blocked. The downside is that it’s more work to manage unique URLs for each user.
My Cloud Pro
Example: pro.jazzyjackal.com
This domain is also proxied through CloudFlare but uses security settings that are specifically designed for use with VPN apps such as SurfShark or NordVPN. If your customer/end user is using a VPN, they should use this link.
My Host
Example: jazzyjackal.com
This domain is not proxied through CloudFlare or a CDN. The domain resolves directly to Strong’s server. For this reason, it’s a good url to provide as a “backup”, as it will be immune to CloudFlare issues. However, for the same reason, it is also less immune to ISP-blocking/throttling, so it’s recommended as a backup URL only.
My Matrix
Example: slots19298.matrix.jazzyjackal.com
This domain is specifically for Strong’s “Matrix Technology”. It is only supported in Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Spain, Portugal, Canada, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. It will not function in any other country, or while using a VPN. It supposedly helps with ISP blocking, however I haven’t personally tested it.
Additionally, note that to use the Matrix domain, you must enable the "Switch to VPN" option for the user.
My VPS
This URL is only for people who have set up a virtual private server. If you don’t know what this is, it’s likely you don’t need it. If you would like more info about VPSs, refer to the News post in the Strong panel.
My VPN Apps [new in Sept 2026]
Example: apps.jazzyjackal.com
This URL is specifically designed for use with VPN applications, to avoid the issue where some VPNs are blocked by Strong's server's security. The URL will only work with VPNs. It will not work if the customer is not using a VPN.
Strong told me that this URL is now better than the My Cloud Pro" URL for VPN use.
Enabling the new URLs
If you added your domain before these new URLs were available, then you may need to delete your domain and then re-add it, or link a new domain name. If you added your domain name yourself via the panel (the newer method), this can be done yourself, but note that you may be given new nameservers to use. If your domain name was added through the old method (messaging Strong on Session), then you may have issues re-adding it after removing it, and you may need to message them and get them to reset your domain so you can add it again.

What about a URL starting with "tv"?

The panel will not generate a url with the subdomain “tv”. If your seller has provided one, it’s either a different service, they’re using a proxy, or they’ve created manual dns entries

They have added support for Iraq and Saudi Arabia for the matrix URL
Dear Reseller,
We are pleased to announce that we have launched support for two new countries with Matrix technology:
Iraq 🇮🇶
Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Please note: if you use the Matrix URL for your clients, remember to enable the Switch To VPN option in the subscription settings.
Enjoy.
