Feel free to tweak, but that feels like enough of a basic description for people wondering. Especially if we get more people trying out Cloudflare :)

WAF is Web Application Firewall and usually refers to protection provided to web servers in the form of traffic filters that scan requests for known attacks/vulnerabilities before passing it on to the application. There are many providers, some with a free tier, like [[Cloudflare]] and [[AWS WAF]].

It looks like we don't have a page for "WAF" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "WAF is ____", a sentence describing the term)

(I think a lot of people referring to security with Cloudflare are actually referring to the WAF, just without knowing what that tech is. Which is more than OK!)

Only issue I've had with Cloudflare so far was their auto-email-address-protection in-content which was breaking @-@ mentions. Had to turn off a default setting

It looks like we don't have a page for "link wrapping" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "link wrapping is ____", a sentence describing the term)

I found that by default Cloudflare seems to have much more emphasis on their WAF rules etc. than AWS CloudFront. But that might also be because I often find all AWS settings to be overwhelming. Also note that just using CloudFront does not give you WAF, it is a separate AWS service that needs to be configured. Though I think they atleast have a one-click thing for that now.

I use CloudFront which I find is less egregious with their complete banning of people - but it's still a 3rd party handling my CDN/Caching/etc

Feels like putting your site behind Cloudflare's walls is a bit antithetical to the open web. But I'm sure there are legitimate reason, like DDoS shit as @pfych mentioned.
