Coverage
Sevalla’s Cloudflare integration mitigates distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks at both the network and application layers.- Network layer (L3/L4): Cloudflare’s Network-layer DDoS Attack Protection managed ruleset is always enabled and mitigates attacks such as SYN floods, UDP floods, and reflection attacks.
- Application layer (L7): Cloudflare’s HTTP DDoS Attack Protection managed ruleset is always enabled and mitigates HTTP-based attacks automatically, typically within a few seconds.
- Always-on: The protection runs continuously across Cloudflare’s network at no extra cost and requires no configuration.
DDoS protection is independent of the CDN caching setting. Even when CDN caching is disabled for an application, all traffic still routes through Cloudflare and remains protected.
