Cloudbric WAF access control

You have the ability to customise your Web Application Firewall (WAF) settings to ensure optimal protection for your site. This includes managing access based on IP address, IP range or country.

This helps ensure that your target market remains accessible, avoiding accidental blocks caused by WAF settings. Additionally, it allows you to block access from specific IP addresses or ranges where you’ve identified malicious activity.
