FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Vercel Firewall to protect my web app from edge-based threats?

To configure Vercel Firewall, you can define edge-level DDoS protection, WAF rules, and rate limits via the REST API or vercel.json. This secures your web apps by blocking malicious traffic and managing bot access at the edge.

What is the best way to apply OWASP Core Rulesets for WAF rules on Vercel?

Applying OWASP Core Rulesets (CRS) for WAF rules on Vercel involves referencing the CRS within your firewall configuration to provide production-ready protection against common web vulnerabilities and edge-based threats.

Can I use Vercel rate limiting and IP block lists to stop malicious traffic?

Yes, you can use Vercel rate limiting and IP block lists to stop malicious traffic. The firewall allows you to configure rate limits and maintain IP allow/block lists to strictly control access to your projects.

Does Vercel Firewall support enabling Attack Challenge Mode for bot protection?

Vercel Firewall supports enabling Attack Challenge Mode to enhance bot protection. This feature provides production-ready guidance to filter bots and secure your edge environment from automated malicious requests.

When should I use vercel.json versus the REST API for DDoS protection configuration?

You should use vercel.json for declarative DDoS protection configuration within your repository, or the REST API for dynamic, programmatic management. Both methods effectively configure Vercel Firewall settings to secure your applications.
