CONFIGURATION & OPERATION
Where it fits in your setup
Traffic controls live in project WAF configuration. Early flood, block, geographic, and bot controls remain effective even when a later inspection path exception is configured.
COVERAGE & LIMITS
What to account for
GeoIP data can be inaccurate and bot signals can change. Proxy topology affects the client address available to the WAF. Rate policies must account for shared IP addresses, legitimate bursts, and application workflows.
