Security 3 min read Updated March 2026

Layer-7 protection against OWASP Top 10 attacks. Free on every hosting and cloud plan.

Enable

  1. Portal → Security → WAF.
  2. Toggle Enable for this site.
  3. Choose a sensitivity preset: Low (few false positives, catches obvious attacks), Medium (recommended), High (paranoid — expect some false positives on admin panels).

Tune rules

Logs tab → filter “blocked” → find rules that block legitimate traffic → click Allow this pattern. Each exception is scoped to the specific URL + rule, not globally.

Custom rules

Add IP allow/deny, country blocks, rate limits, and custom header-match rules. Rules take effect in 10 seconds.
