Summary
This post details the redesign of the Cloudflare WAF user experience in the dashboard. It consolidates firewall rules, managed rules, and rate limiting rules under a new 'WAF' section within the 'Security' tab. This change is driven by customer feedback and aims to provide a more intuitive and unified approach to web application security. The post also announces upcoming features such as advanced rate limiting, free managed rules for all plans, and the migration of firewall rules to the Ruleset Engine.
