FAQs

Do I Have to Set the Protected Port to the Origin Server Port When Adding a Website to WAF?

No. When you add a domain name to WAF, configure the server port to the port of the protected website. The origin server port is the service port used by WAF to forward your website requests. More details about port configuration are as follows:

  • If Client Protocol is set to HTTP, WAF protects services on the standard port 80 by default. If Client Protocol is set to HTTPS, WAF protects services on the standard port 443 by default.
  • To configure a port other than 80 or 443, select a non-standard port from the Protected Port drop-down list.
