How CloudFilt stops Proxy traffic
-
Proxies & hosting networks
Open proxies and datacenter networks, where most bots run, weigh on the risk score of the visitor.
-
IP reputation
Every IP is checked against 15 reputation lists: our own honeypots, public spam and attack blocklists, threat intelligence feeds.
-
Captcha challenge
Doubtful visitors get a captcha instead of a hard block: real humans are through in seconds.
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
