Domain verification — statistics without a Provider ID

Statistics only work when the app knows your Provider ID. If a build does not send it — an older release, a client you do not control, a config imported by hand — those check-ins land nowhere and you lose sight of your own users.

Verify the domain your subscriptions are served from, and check-ins without a Provider ID are attributed to you automatically, based on the subscription URL the app reports.

How to verify

  1. Open provider.smproxy.io/provider/domains and add your domain. You can paste a full subscription URL — the domain is extracted for you.
  2. Add the TXT record shown on the page.
  3. Press Check. DNS does not propagate instantly — if the first attempt fails, wait a couple of minutes and try again.
Name:  smproxy-verification.your-domain.com
Value: 8f3a91c24b774c1e9a025e6d1f0b7c33

☁️ Cloudflare shortcut. If your DNS is on Cloudflare, press Add via Cloudflare instead. You are taken to Cloudflare's consent screen, we create the TXT record for you, and the domain is verified straight away — no copying required. We ask for DNS access only, and the record stays in place afterwards.

What it covers

Subdomains are included. Verifying example.com covers sub.example.com, eu.sub.example.com and any other depth — you do not need to add them separately.

Matching is done on the registrable domain, so multi-level suffixes behave correctly: example.co.uk is a domain you can own, co.uk is not, and evil-example.com never matches example.com.

A domain belongs to one provider. If someone else has already verified it, adding it again is refused.

Priority — Provider ID wins

Check-in contains Attributed to
A Provider ID that exists That provider — the domain is not consulted
No Provider ID, subscription URL on a verified domain The domain's owner
A Provider ID we do not know, URL on a verified domain The domain's owner
Neither Nobody; the check-in is marked unattributed

Domain verification never overrides an explicit Provider ID — it only fills the gap when one is missing or unusable.

Where the domain shows up

  • Statistics — a Subscription domains breakdown showing how many devices use each host, and the host under each device's subid. Full hosts are shown, so you can tell sub.example.com from sub3.example.com.

  • Messages — you can target a message at a domain: *.example.com for the domain and all its subdomains, or a single host for just its users.

Only the host is ever displayed — subscription tokens in the URL are never shown.
