CDN & Bot protection

DataDome can be used with any major CDN. The module is able to identify the real client IP that actually requests the page, and considers all IP ranges used by CDN service providers as Trusted Proxy.

Depending on your CDN, some configuration may be required.

The default Akamai configuration works seamlessly with the DataDome module, as it forwards all required information to the Origin.

If you are using Amazon CloudFront, on the other hand, you need to configure it to forward required information to the Origin.

Integrate your CDN with DataDome
In terms of cache management, DataDome will protect all hits that reach the Origin. If you need to protect all your content, we recommend the usage of a specific header to force the CDN to reach the Origin for each hit. This will not disable the cache, but forces the CDN to check cache validity for each hit. The packet is very light (no content), and resulting overhead will be very limited.

If you are using a single or a multi-CDN architecture, please check our new documentation Integrate your CDN with DataDome
