Overview
Advanced DDoS Protection systems are configured using the general settings, Advanced TCP Protection, and Advanced DNS Protection.
General settings enable and control the use of the Advanced TCP Protection and the Advanced DNS Protection systems, and are composed of thresholds, prefixes, rules, and enablement. To configure the general settings, refer to Setup.
Thresholds are based on your network’s unique traffic, they define the sensitivity levels, and are configured by Cloudflare.
Add prefixes to instruct the system on which traffic to route through the system.
Create rules for the TCP and DNS Protection systems to enable mitigation. Start with Monitoring mode.
Enable the Advanced DDoS system and begin routing traffic through it.
