Question 1

Why use an SSL checker hosted in India?

Accepted Answer

Most public SSL checkers run outside India. Many Indian banking, government and enterprise services — and a great many private organisations that deliberately restrict access for security reasons — accept connections only from Indian IP addresses, so an overseas scanner is blocked before the TLS handshake completes and reports a false failure. This checker runs from within India and reaches those endpoints.

Question 2

Can it check a port other than 443?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enter any hostname and TCP port — HTTPS on 443 or 8443, SMTPS on 465, IMAPS on 993, or any other service presenting a TLS certificate.

Question 3

What does it report?

Accepted Answer

Expiry date and days remaining, subject and issuer, the complete chain of trust, TLS protocol version and negotiated cipher, hostname and SAN match, key size, serial number and SHA-256 fingerprint.
