do you think that every well-meaning GET request should be treated the same way as a distributed attack ? The latter is the reason why people use CF not the former.
- concinds 1y agoThe line can be extremely blurry (that's putting it mildly), and "the latter" is not the only reason people use CF (actually, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it wasn't even the biggest reason).
