How CloudFilt stops Blocking by country and continent (GDPR)
-
Country & continent rules
Block or allow whole countries or continents, for GDPR, fraud or business reasons.
-
URL rules
Give your login, checkout or API paths their own rules, stricter than the rest of the site.
-
Live journal
Every verdict is logged with its reason, IP, country and rule: you always know why.
From request to verdict
Each request is scored from the front and the back end, then allowed, challenged or blocked before it reaches your server.
-
Visitor
A browser, a script or a bot sends a request to your website or API.
-
Nearest point of presence
The CDN WAF, or your plugin, hands the request to the closest point of presence.
-
Signals
IP reputation, behaviour, rate, country and your own rules, weighed in real time.
-
Verdict
- Allowed to your site
- Challenge captcha first
- Blocked never reaches you
