• 

  Anycast Network

  With 200 cities across 95 countries and 37 Tbps of capacity, Cloudflare’s Anycast network absorbs distributed attack traffic by dispersing it geographically, while keeping Internet properties available and performant.
• 

  DNSSEC

  DNSSEC is the Internet’s non-spoofable caller ID. It guarantees a web application’s traffic is safely routed to the correct servers so that a site’s visitors are not intercepted by a hidden “man-in-the-middle” attacker.
• 

  Web Application Firewall (WAF)

  Cloudflare’s enterprise-grade web application firewall (WAF) detects and block common application layer vulnerabilities at the network edge, utilising the OWASP Top 10, application-specific and custom rulesets.
• 

  Rate Limiting

  Rate Limiting protects critical resources by providing fine-grained control to block or qualify visitors with suspicious request rates.
• 

  SSL / TLS

  Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption enables HTTPS connections between visitors and origin server(s), preventing man-in-the-middle attacks, packet sniffing, the display of web browser trust warnings, and more.
• 

  Secure Registrar

  Cloudflare is an ICANN accredited registrar, protecting organizations from domain hijacking with high-touch, online and offline verification for any changes to a registrar account.
• 

  Orbit

  Cloudflare Orbit solves security-related issues for Internet of Things devices at the network level.
• 

  Argo Tunnel

  Cloudflare creates an encrypted tunnel between its nearest data center and an application’s origin server without opening a public inbound port.
• 

  Access

  Secure, authenticate, and monitor user access to any domain, application, or path on Cloudflare.
• 

  spectrum

  SpectrumSpectrum protects TCP applications and ports from volumetric DDoS attacks and data theft by proxying non-web traffic through Cloudflare’s Anycast network.

• 

  Performance Improvement

  As the site traffic is filtered, only genuine traffic passes. So the hosting resources can serve actual users at a better speed. Moreover, Cloudflare also caches the static content and helps them without requesting each time from the host. So the host needs lesser processing to serve the content.
• 

  Save Hosting Bandwidth

  Not all the traffic goes to host. So one can save on the bandwidth that you may waste otherwise to spammers and hackers. Moreover, static content served as cached from Cloudflare will save on the hosting bandwidth as well.
• 

  Blocks DoS and DDoS

  RCloudflare blocks DDoS and DoS. DDoS is an attack on the server to send too many automated requests from various locations to bring it down. If your IP Address is known to the hacker, Cloudflare cannot protect your server from DDoS as the attacker targets IP directly bypassing the Cloudflare. The solution is to change the IP address and use the new IP address only in Cloudflare. If a site experiences too much of DDoS attacks, it makes sense to use Cloudflare.

• 

  Accurate Site Analytics

  Google Analytics or any other analytics that you may use in HTML relies on the fact users have JavaScript enabled, and the page loads to the point where you have the tracking code. With Cloudflare, stats are way more accurate than JavaScript-based stats because they catch all the traffic stats that JavaScript may miss because of blocked JavaScript content or page not loaded completely.
• 

  DNS Changes are faster

  Cloudflare controls your DNS. So when changing hosts, at the most you need to do is change the IP address your old host to the new host. It can complete in minutes instead of 24 to 48 hours one typically may need to wait for DNS changes to propagate.
• 

  Spam Protection

  One can filter out the bad traffic and protect the hosting or servers from automated bots and spammers.
