Connection Process (Dedicated Mode)

To let a dedicated WAF instance protect your website, the domain name of the website must be connected to the dedicated WAF instance so that the website incoming traffic can go to WAF first.

Constraints

Dedicated WAF instances can only protect web applications and websites that are accessible through domain names or IP addresses.

Before using a dedicated WAF instance, complete the required configurations by following the process shown in Figure 1.
