DNS — Forwarding mode
Forwarding mode requires each GenAI application to be assigned a unique FQDN that resolves to the Protector Plus instance (AMI) or Ingress (Kubernetes). The FQDN is the application identifier — Protector Plus applies the bound security profile based on the FQDN of the incoming request. Example assignment:DNS — Non-forwarding mode
Non-forwarding mode does not require an FQDN. The application calls the Protector Plus API directly with an API key and App ID. The profile pseudo-URL (e.g.,app1.pseudo.local) is used internally for configuration, not a resolvable DNS name.
