What is a better option for website owners? We don't want to keep people out, we want to keep attackers out.

Genuinely curious, is there a way of tuning how this protection is triggered? If there is, perhaps filter out those ISPs/countries from which most attack originate? Not a cloudflare user myself -- for me it's mostly been a nuisance.

  • I use cloudflare and I block whole countries because the bots and spam are so bad from places like Singapore.

    Cloudflare makes region blocking very easy.

  • At least to me, cloudflare has never shown any fine tuning options.

    • Cloudflare offers more options to paid customers than to free customers, but with basic Cloudflare Rules you can usually configure your firewall and presents to your liking.
