CloudFilt CDN WAF Reviews

This is a really big concern for me - I submitted a chat ticket in October. No responses. I send an email this week trying to get help again, and still, no response.

I'm not sure there is actually someone managing the company - I think they took our money and are delivering the product as is with limited intention on supporting users based on the response I'm getting from them!

I used the CDN filter (recommended) and all my wordpress sites slowed down to unusable speeds. I can't recommend this at all.

Not only that but I kept having issues.
1. PHP file size was too small on the WAF, even though it was fine on my server. So I couldn't install plugins/themes except for manually copy and paste into the plugin directory.
2. Did I mention slow? I mean SLOOOOOOOW.
3. Cloudfilt does not correctly ascertain and forward the IP addresses of visitors. So there's no way to get accurate geolocation data on visitors and more importantly, no way to log the ip addresses of bad actors. No way to log admin logins (Wordfence would say "new admin login from Germany/Siberia/Portugal/France" when I knew those logins were me from the USA).

On the plus side, it seemed to filter out a lot of bad actors before they even got to my site and it obfuscates my sites IP.

Not recommended. Wasted my money.

As much as I wanted to get this to work to replace the free version of Cloudflare, I couldn't get it to work. Talk with someone from the support team and did what they told me, but it still wouldn't connect to my server. And they blamed by server team. Maybe someday I'll find a purpose for this. But I spent so much time between CloudFilt support and my server support, that I ran out the 60 day window. So my recommendation .. unless you're using one of the specific platforms they mention, don't buy it. I probably won't work. That's my opinion based on my experience.

Good app, it works well for me

A very interesting offer, although sometimes a little complex to configure. For WordPress, use the plugin for good results. For PHP scripts, use the PHP Curl formula. I have tried several times to configure CDN/WAF by modifying the DNS of a domain via a CNAME or an A record, but it doesn't work. Sometimes it starts working, but after a few days, it stops working. So I avoid the CDN/WAF option by modifying the DNS. Apart from that, it works well. I regret that there are no advanced settings for, for example, modifying the WAF or CDN rules, but perhaps this is planned for a future roadmap—who knows? Overall, I am satisfied. I have not yet tested the technical support.
