    Parameter

    Description

    Domain Name

    Protected domain name or IP address.

    Protection

    WAF protection configured for your website. You can select Cloud Mode - CNAME or Dedicated Mode.

    Access Status

    The progress of connecting your website to WAF or the website access status.

    • Inaccessible: The website has not been connected to WAF yet or failed to connect to WAF.
    • Accessible: The website has been connected to WAF.

    Status/Threats in Last 3 Days

    WAF protection status and security situation of the domain name for the past three days.

    WAF supports the following protection modes:

    • Protected: The WAF protection is enabled.
    • Unprotected: The WAF protection is disabled. If a large number of normal requests are blocked, for example, status code 418 is frequently returned, then you can switch the mode to Suspended. In this mode, your website is not protected because WAF only forwards requests. It does not scan for attacks. This mode is risky. You are advised to use the global protection whitelist rules to reduce false alarms.
    • Bypassed: In this mode, requests are directly sent to the backend servers without passing through WAF.
      NOTE:

      The protection mode can be switched to Bypassed only when Cloud Mode - CNAME is selected for the website and the following conditions are met:

      • Website services need to be restored to the status when the domain is not connected to WAF.
      • You need to investigate website errors, such as 502, 504, or other incompatibility issues.
      • No proxies are configured between the client and WAF.

    Certificate/Cipher Suite

    Certificate and cipher suite used for the domain name. You can click the certificate name to go to the Certificates page.

    Policy

    Number of types of WAF protection enabled for the domain name. Policy applied to the domain name. You can click the number to go to the rule configuration page and configure specific protection rules. For details, see Configuring Protection Policies.

    Server IP/Port

    Public IP address of the website server accessed by the client and the service port used by WAF to forward client requests to the server.

    Created

    Time the website was added to WAF.

    Enterprise Project
