Parameters

Domain Name

The domain name is used by visitors to access your website. A domain name consists of letters separated by dots (.). It is a human readable address that maps to the machine readable IP address of your server.

www.example.com

Standard/Non-standard Port

The service port corresponding to the domain name of the website you want to protect.

• Standard ports
  • 80: default port when the client protocol is HTTP
  • 443: default port when the client protocol is HTTPS
• Non-standard ports

  Ports other than ports 80 and 443

  NOTICE:

  If your website uses a non-standard port, check whether the WAF edition you plan to buy can protect the non-standard port before you make a purchase. For details, see Which Non-Standard Ports Does WAF Support?

80

HTTP/2 can be used only for access between the client and WAF on the condition that at least one origin server has HTTPS used for Client Protocol.
