Configure a Custom Template Domain

You can use PhishingBox with domains that you own or control. You will need access to the domain's DNS records. Check with your hosting providers for documentation on configuring DNS. 

 

  1. Basic DNS
  2. DKIM and DMARC
  3. Adding a custom template domain

 

Basic DNS

If you're setting up a subdomain (i.e., blog.contoso.com), you must configure a CNAME record and point the record to landing.phishingbox.com (US) or landing-eu.phishingbox.com (EU). If you're trying to configure a root domain (i.e., contoso.com), you will need to create an A record and point it to:
64.191.166.205 - US
64.238.34.20 - EU 
64.191.166.219 - Online Signup

An SSL certificate will then be automatically generated.

To send mail using your custom domain, you will need a TXT record that looks like this:

US: v=spf1 ip4:64.191.166.0/24-all 

EU: v=spf1 ip4:64.238.34.0/24-all 

NOTE: If you are configuring a subdomain, you will need to use an A record instead of a CNAME record, as subdomains cannot have both TXT records and CNAME records.

Once the CNAME record or A record has been created, the SPF record has been created, and DNS has had time to propagate the updates, it may be used as a custom domain within PhishingBox.

NOTE: DNS may take up to 48 hours to propagate the updates.

 

DKIM and DMARC

DKIM and DMARC are not required to send an email using the custom template domain, but are required by most modern mail clients. The following are records for DMARC and DKIM, replace 'domain' with your domain name:

 

DKIM

Name: pbox._domainkey.domain 

Type: CNAME 

Value: pbox._domainkey.ourphish.com

 

DMARC

Name: _DMARC.domain

Type: CNAME 

Value: _DMARC.ourphish.com

 

Adding a Custom Template Domain 

To add the custom domain to your account, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to Templates > Template Domains
  2. Click the button
  3. Input your domain
  4. Click the button
  5. Finally, click the button

The "Add" button will only become available if the test passes. Once added, the domain will be visible in your list of Account Domains.
