Constraints and Limitations

Updated on 2024-12-31 GMT+08:00

This topic describes some limitations and constraints on using CFW.

  • Traffic protection supports EIPs, but does not support global EIPs or the EIPs bound to API Gateway.
  • CFW can be used only in the region where it was purchased. To use CFW in another region, switch to that region and purchase it. For details about the regions where CFW is available, see Function Overview.
  • VPC border protection depends on the enterprise router for traffic diversion. To use this function, ensure your account has at least one enterprise router.
  • CFW does not support Chinese domain names.

Protection Policy Quota Limit
