Server Configuration

Description

Configure the address of your web server. You need to configure Client Protocol, Server protocol, VPC, Server Address, and Server Port.

  • Client Protocol: protocol used by a client to access a server. The options are HTTP and HTTPS.
  • Server Protocol: protocol used by WAF to forward client requests. The options are HTTP and HTTPS.

    WAF can check WebSocket and WebSockets requests, which is enabled by default.

  • VPC: Select the VPC to which the dedicated WAF instance belongs.
  • Server Address: private IP address of the website server. Log in to the ECS or ELB console and view the private IP address of the server in the instance list.
  • Server Port: service port of the server over which the dedicated WAF instance forwards client requests.

FAQs

Does a Dedicated WAF Instance Support Cross-VPC Protection?

If dedicated WAF instances and origin servers they protect are not in the same VPC, you can use a VPC peering connection to connect two VPCs. This method is not recommended as VPC peering connections may be not stable enough sometimes.
