How can I make a subdomain on google cloud platform for split domain routing? I already have an email provider on my domain so I want to do SDR to connect another email provider. My domain is registered from GoDaddy and then pointed to GCP where is hosted by Bitnami WordPress.
I understand that you want to create a Split Domain Routing using GCP but you should know that Google Cloud is blocking the outbound connections on ports 25, 465, and 587.
So if you want to create an SDN you have to set up your own email server on an instance using a non-standard ports and create the MX records in your DNS.

Brief background:
I am learning VPC with AWS lightsail(wordpress). I just realised it doesn't come with email service and have to be set up on our own.
What I want to do:
I would prefer to use a non Amazon's email service provider (maybe proton or g-suite) for daily email communications.
I'd prefer to have www.example.com to be redirected to example.com
My questions:
What is the recommended way to set up the email MX record?
Does it make any difference in configuring DNS with domain registrar or hosting service provider?
I remember Google Analytics has the option to direct www.example.com to example.com and vice versa. Is it similar to DNS directing or that is mainly for site traffic direction?
Extra info:
Currently, the domain is registered with Namecheap and I have the NS pointed to AWS. I'm open to any kind of configuration suggestions because it is mainly for learning purpose and can be changed/deleted anytime.
so I am setting up a server for a messaging application which is being developed. I am using openfire server for this which I have installed and running on a PC. Right now, the xmpp domain is set to my computer name and server is working on my network, but obviously as its a local name it cannot be accessed from the outside.I am able to access the server from multiple computers on the same network using the Spark messaging client to test the server. So to be able to access my XMPP server from devices outside my network, do I just buy a domain name and set it as my XMPP domain in Openfire settings?
To answer your question, yes, with the following caveats:
You will either have to host the DNS server yourself or have the DNS provider serve the records for you.
A domain must have a static IP to address to point to. A home or a typical small business Internet account does not include a static IP (some providers actively prevent home accounts from serving web pages/services).
You must also configure your firewall to allow a mapping to the internal server.
I would recommend using an external provider to handle the network and hosting services for your program.
I have a scenario that gives me headache for a while now. I bought a domain on Namecheap, hosting on Godaddy cpanel, but later decided to host on Aws ec2 instance, but I don't want to use the SES service from Amazon. Now that was successful.On trying to setup the email account on the Godaddy cpanel, I can only send emails , but not receive. I tried several mx record settings, but none worked.
Domain from Namecheap --- works
Email service - Godaddy Cpanel email -- can only send, no receipts.
Website hosting - Aws ec2 ----works
I would like to know the correct setup for this. Any help would be appreciated.
What is that you are trying to host on EC2? Is it an application?
Where is your Email Hosting done? Is it in GoDaddy?
In order to do that you have to change your MX Record entries in your DNS.
You have to add the MX entry provided by the cpanel for that particular domain in your dns to get your incoming emails service working.
You are able to send emails because there is no need of MX when you are sending mails. You are using SMTP for sending mails out from your server.
Your website should be working if you have added your amazon ec2 instance public ip in your DNS.
You can make things simpler by moving your dns to cpanel i.e. on godaddy server by changing nameservers in your name cheap panel which is given by godaddy guys. You then have to add A record which must be pointing to your AWS ec2 instance public IP and your MX must be set bydefault in your cpanel server.
I would like to ask if its possible to retain the email of my domain to godaddy and is hosted in gmail but the hosting is in different provider like namecheap. I know how to point the nameserver of namecheap to godaddy but my problem is with the email
Assuming I understand correctly, you are using Google Apps For Mail. If so, you may simply host your domain name with Namecheap and then set up Google MX records for your domain name. This way you will have your domain hosted with Namecheap and mail service handled by Gmail. No need to include GoDaddy into this chain.
You may find MX records here: https://support.google.com/a/answer/33915?hl=en
These MX records should be set up in your cPanel (if you have a hosting plan) or at the Advanced DNS page of your Namecheap account (if you are using Namecheap's Premium or Basic DNS).
I am going to use Secure Gateway service in Bluemix and I have some questions about how I should make it work.
Systems in my data center's intranet access the Internet through a proxy (with no authentication). Can Secure Gateway connect to Bluemix via a proxy?
Does it connect to Bluemix via HTTPS protocol?
The network admins asked me: What are the IPs (or the IP range) of Bluemix, any idea?
Thank you very much.
A Secure Gateway instance runs in two parts, as shown in "Reaching enterprise backend with Bluemix Secure Gateway via console": the gateway and the gateway client. The gateway runs in Bluemix, the gateway client runs in the data center containing one or more systems of record to connect to. The gateway client needs network access to the Bluemix data center (typically via the Internet) and to the systems of record (via the data center's internal network). The gateway client initiates the connection, so it needs to know Bluemix's address, but Bluemix doesn't need to know the gateway client's address.
To answer your questions specifically:
A proxy isn't supported. The gateway and its client need direct access to each other.
The connection uses HTTPS for SSL encryption. The transport level security (TLS) options can be used to add authentication.
Bluemix's IP addresses aren't published.
For point 3:
The client connects outbound to the cloud services. Once the SecGW is connected, all additional Destination connects flow through that connection, no additional firewall or iptables rules are needed. If they have a rule in-place so that the on-premises machine where the SecureGateway client is installed can use the outbound port 443 (HTTPS) to make connections, that is all they need.
