Hi Iain. Exactly, I feel to the mercy of luck.

 

Look, it's not a product effectiveness question (I have no doubt about the F5 team), but in how this product will protect the link whereas I understand I have a poor infra for that deployment.

 

It's still worse, when my contract type is "Always Available", so I have to react when the link is under attack, thus, the IP range is exposed for all the time.

 

The F5 Silverline allows me to be proactive at specific days, but never know when an attack will come and what the attacker is planning for today.

 

Thanks for your comment.
