What Objects Does WAF Protect?

WAF can protect websites through domain names or IP addresses.

  • In cloud CNAME access mode, only website domain names can be added to WAF.

    Your origin server IP address configured in WAF must a public IP address. For example, if an Elastic Load Balance (ELB) load balancer from Huawei Cloud is configured for origin servers, a cloud WAF instance can protect origin servers as long as the load balancer has a public IP address bound.

  • In dedicated or cloud ELB access mode, you can add website domain names or IP addresses to WAF.
