The use of Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a mandatory condition of hosting your site with Vortx. A web application firewall (WAF) is a specific form of application firewall that filters, monitors, and blocks traffic to and from a website. It is a critical component in the war against cyber-attacks.
This 'Premium' version is ideal for people who appreciate the benefits of the Cloudflare service including:
- Full control over DNS (including CNAME)
- Full access to redirect rules (avoids the need for changing core Vortx configuration files)
- Performance reporting
- Visibility into block and attempted attackers
