CirrostratusXC Bot defense question
Hi,
I read this article describing how to add XC botdefense into current onsite infra. But I do not understand how that works in detail. I will copy-paste my question I put into the article:
How is it with routing, do I have to route traffic via XC WAAP? Or I dont have to worry about it and client traffic can access my local LB VIP via my dedicated internet line? In that case XC is doing what, just providing the logic to make a decision what to drop and what to allow?
Thanks for any hint,
Zdenek
There is no re-routing involved in this scenario.
Traffic is processed by your local Virtual Server, which simply forwards telemetry to XC. XC then applies the logic and determines whether the request is allowed or not.
