F5 Botdefense behind Cloudflare
Hi community,
Does anyone know how to fix botdefense protection profile when we have a setup Client > Cloudflare proxied > F5 AWAF.
It seems that botdefense matches the client browser as malicious bot all the time : Non-browser presenting as FireFox -Edge -Chrome.

I do not see the X-Forwarded; CF-Connecting-IP, CF-IPCountry: headers in the blocked request. I guess it is not showing them when connection is blocked.

I found the solution to my problem. In case someone else is having the same issue.

Hi James,
Thanks for the suggestion. It seems a different scenario. We have suspicious with CAPTCHA and malicious are set to block.
Also the API setting is disabled as per the default config for relaxed bot defense profile.Regards,
