I'm curious - does archive.is flag the WAF more than the average (if there is such a thing as an "average" for a planet-wide WAF, heh)?
(Also - if I can ask/clarify a couple things I've been curious about for a while: based on released info, I get the idea that the Lua part of the WAF is mostly regexes and "precompiled"/predetermined-ahead-of-time-based-on-past-incidents "possible issue" flagging, and a bunch of Go code (which I theorize runs slightly behind realtime, but not too far) follows up on those flags and makes the actual executive decisions about blocking/tracking/dropping/etc the Lua-generated event. I've also learned (from solving an ISP glitch with the guy who coincidentally manages the WAF!) that your copy of Lua is a bit special (although I don't know specifically how). I just wanted to let you know that there are people out there very interested to learn more about the "boring" (non-proprietary) parts of the CF stack. "Go/no-go within 999 nanoseconds" is amazing, I'd love to learn more about it. It's a cool platform.)
Experimentally mentioning the word cloudflare just in case my previous message (the comment this comment is a reply to) simply wasn't noticed. Now I can have high confidence the comment above this one was at least seen, even if a reply can't work (which is fine).
