Configuring a Global Protection Whitelist (Formerly False Alarm Masking) Rule

Prerequisites

A website has been added to WAF.

Constraints

• If you select All protection for Ignore WAF Protection, all WAF rules do not take effect, and WAF allows all request traffic to the domain names in the rule.
• If you select Basic web protection for Ignore WAF Protection, global protection whitelist (formerly false alarm masking) rules take effect only for events triggered against WAF built-in rules in Basic Web Protection and anti-crawler rules under Feature Library.
  • Basic web protection rules

    Basic web protection defends against common web attacks, such as SQL injection, XSS attacks, remote buffer overflow attacks, file inclusion, Bash vulnerability exploits, remote command execution, directory traversal, sensitive file access, and command and code injections. Basic web protection also detects web shells and evasion attacks.

  • Feature-based anti-crawler protection

    Feature-based anti-crawler identifies and blocks crawler behavior from search engines, scanners, script tools, and other crawlers.

• Leva vários minutos para que uma nova regra entre em vigor. Depois que a regra entrar em vigor, os eventos de proteção desencadeados pela regra serão exibidos na página Events.
• You can configure a global whitelist (formerly false alarm masking) rule by referring to Manipulação de alarmes falsos. After handling a false alarm, you can view the rule in the global whitelist (formerly false alarm masking) rule list.
• Currently, the following regions support global protection whitelist (formerly false alarm masking) rules:
  • CN-Hong Kong
  • AP-Bangkok
  • AP-Singapore
  • RU-Moscow201
