What is Cloudflare?



Cloudflare — is a cloud service specializing in speeding up and protecting websites. It acts as an intermediary between the crypto exchange’s server and its visitors, providing an additional layer of security.



Key features of Cloudflare:


Traffic filtering — blocking malicious requests, bots, and scrapers.


DDoS protection — reducing server load during mass attack attempts.


Hiding the real IP address — Replacing it with Cloudflare’s IP addresses, which makes attacking the server much more difficult and hides the server’s geolocation from curious parties (but not from government authorities).


Website acceleration — Caching and optimizing content delivery to users.



For cryptocurrency exchanges, using Cloudflare means protection against attacks and outages, as well as hiding the server’s real IP address from potential attackers.
