This security service is for website administrators who need to control access and protect their sites from unwanted traffic. It works by blocking requests at the network level, before they reach the web server, based on the visitor's IP address or Autonomous System Number (ASN).

• Network-Level Blocking: Denies access to entire IP ranges or internet service providers (ASNs), stopping traffic before it consumes server resources.
• Error Page Customization: Presents a clear "Access Denied" message to blocked visitors, which can be branded and include details like a Cloudflare Ray ID for troubleshooting.
• Security Integration: Functions as part of a larger security and performance platform, often sitting in front of the origin server to filter all incoming requests.
• Automated Threat Mitigation: Can be configured to automatically ban IPs or networks associated with malicious activity like DDoS attacks or credential stuffing.
• Granular Control: Allows administrators to define specific blocking rules, offering precise control over who can and cannot access the website.
