How it works

With Django, CloudFilt runs in two places. The front end snippet, one line of HTML in your pages, loads the CloudFilt script that spots automation in the browser. The back end code is one function, cloudFiltInterception, called at the top of your views: it sends the IP, the URL and the user agent of the request to CloudFilt and applies the verdict before your page is built.

Real visitors go through, doubtful ones get a captcha, bad bots are blocked. The code of your dashboard already holds your keys: copy, paste, deploy. Your rules (countries, URLs, anti-flood thresholds) are then edited from the dashboard, without a new deployment.

What you get

  • Front and back end analysis
  • Code generated with your keys already filled in
  • Captcha for doubtful visitors, not a hard block
  • Search engine crawlers verified and let through

From request to verdict

Once Django is plugged in, each request is scored from the front and the back end, then allowed, challenged or blocked.

  1. Visitor

    A browser, a script or a bot sends a request to your website or API.

  2. Nearest point of presence

    The CDN WAF, or your plugin, hands the request to the closest point of presence.

  3. Signals

    IP reputation, behaviour, rate, country and your own rules, weighed in real time.

  4. Verdict

    • Allowed to your site
    • Challenge captcha first
    • Blocked never reaches you
