Interfering with Cloudflare Configuration for URL Request Blocking
Hi,
Youi don't get access to modify configuration for the DXP-packaged Cloudflare.
Based on your request filtering requirements, you can consider
- This IpWhitelist add-on
- Write your own custom middleware
- Bring your own Cloudflare for more control on handling of incoming traffic

We had something similar to this for one of our clients.
Ultimately, the client moved to Bring your own Cloudflare (as suggested by Ronil), but in the short-term we were able to give 'patterns' for URLs to block (and some other blocking/challenge rules) to Optimizely Support and they implemented them on Optimizely DXP's Cloudflare for us.

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if it's possible to interact with or modify Cloudflare's configuration in any way with DXP. Specifically, I am interested in setting up a blacklist (or an equivalent mechanism) to block specific URL requests based on certain criteria.
Would anyone be able to provide guidance on whether Optimizely allows for any level of customization or interference with Cloudflare’s security settings, particularly in terms of managing request filtering or blocking specific URLs? Any insight on how to approach this or recommendations on best practices would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
