Chinafy is committed to protecting Chinafy sites from malicious traffic as part of our ongoing effort to ensure security and reliability across the board of all Chinafy users.
We employ a holistic framework of industry-standard security measures, including but not limited to -
This article introduces what they are and how Chinafy enables them across all Chinafy sites.
Reducing Malicious Traffic Risks
Understanding malicious traffic
One common practice to block malicious traffic is to apply bot mitigation which helps filter bot traffic from your visitors either by requiring suspicious visitors to verify their human status, or temporarily blocking them from viewing the site.
How Chinafy mitigates malicious traffic risks
Chinafy leverages AWS WAF’s Known Bad Inputs to block request patterns known to be invalid and or are associated with the discovery or exploitation of vulnerabilities. This helps to reduce the risk of a malicious actor discovering a vulnerable application.
We also maintain a growing list of suspicious user agents in combination with other use-case-specific criteria to define malicious bot traffic.
When an IP is detected as a bot, the user accessing your Chinafy site will be prompted to verify their human user status by clicking on a provided link.

Deploying DDoS Protection
Understanding DDoS protection
DDoS mitigation is the security protocol that addresses a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack during which a flood of Internet traffic is sent to your infrastructure with the malicious intent to disrupt your site.
How Chinafy applies DDoS protection
Chinafy uses Amazon Shield Standard which provides standard DDoS protection by Amazon.
We allocate a healthy quota of requests per IP to allow for normal access including via a multi-user environment. Once the threshold is met, individual users may be banned from accessing the site temporarily.
As time elapses, the quota will recover steadily with restrictions lifted.
