Dear Valued HEXONET Customer,

Our experienced team will soon be implementing server and hardware updates to continue providing you optimal system stability, here at HEXONET.

To accommodate these changes, we have scheduled a LIVE maintenance on June 21, 2022. The LIVE system will be offline for eight hours (7:00-15:00 UTC).

Please regard, that access via API and Control Panel is going to be only available to a limited extent during the maintenance.

The following updates are taking place, to enhance your experience:

* We are adding a new operational and data system to our LIVE system, to optimize performance.

* We are migrating to a new data center, to increase efficiency and security.

* We are enhancing our maintenance efforts for system administrators, including consolidating infrastructure, streamlining the processes and standardizing tools.

Please note, there are actions that we request of you to assist with these updates. Full details on these actions are available in our public wiki at:
https://wiki.hexonet.net/wiki/Domain_API#New_LIVE_environment_.28as_of_June_21.2C_2022.29

Actions required:

IP addresses

* We are only updating the IP addresses of our APIs, endpoints and ports will remain the same. Please check if you currently maintain IP address(es) in your set up, if this is the case, please move to the host names instead of the IP addresses.

* If you maintain our IP address(es) in your firewall rules, please find our new IP addresses in our wiki here:
https://wiki.hexonet.net/wiki/Domain_API#New_LIVE_environment_.28as_of_June_21.2C_2022.29

* We support only secure connections, please ensure you are using HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Endpoints, ports and Ciphers

* We will add TLS v1.3, you may consider utilizing TLS v1.3 after the switch date

* We are removing weak TLS v1.2 ciphers. Please visit this wiki page for a list of supported ciphers:
https://wiki.hexonet.net/wiki/Domain_API#New_LIVE_environment_.28as_of_June_21.2C_2022.29

* Please note, you can test if your system uses the correct ciphers, by connecting to our OT&E environment, as this has already been moved to the new data center.

* We request that you review the table and the cipher list provided in our wiki to further connect via the APIs to our LIVE environment:

We appreciate your patience during this time and we have additional team members on standby to support you during this transition. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or queries at help@hexonet.support.

Warm regards,

Your HEXONET Team
