Link Proxy Add-On
This add-on will run as a link proxy on a separate server and all incoming email link clicks will be handled by this add-on. The biggest benefit of this link proxy add-on is, it takes care of SSL certificates itself so you don’t have to initiate an SSL certificate for each tracking domain you use on your Octeth installation.
This add-on contains Caddy Server.
Installation
After initiating your Linux VM (this document is written for the Ubuntu Linux distribution), follow these steps on the server with root access.
Update package sources list with the latest versions of the packages int he repositories:

link.mydomain.com A <octeth_link_proxy_server_ip_address>You can setup your link tracking domains pointing to the domain above using a CNAME DNS record. For example, if you are going to set link.test.com as your link tracking domain, the following DNS record must be set:
link.test.com CNAME link.mydomain.comQuestions?
