 * How different is the Cloudflare web application firewall from Ninjafirewall?
 * I have seen some use both.
 * Regards,

 * Hi,
 * NinjaFirewall works on your server and gives your more options, feature and control
   than a cloud-based WAF.
    For instance, File Guard + File Check features, privilege
   escalation detection, events notification, many more individual options to customize
   your blog security, better privacy (your data is not routed through a third-party
   company’s servers), possibility to prepend your own PHP code to the firewall (.
   htnija file) etc. In addition, since you are posting on this forum, you are likely
   using the free version of NinjaFirewall which does not cost you anything. Correct
   me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me that Cloudflare’s WAF is not available in
   the free version of their service.

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your reply.
 * I was not looking at the financial aspect but the technical. Just wanted to know
   the difference that both are being used in a single site by some.

 * I guess they use both because that gives them a CDN (Cloudflare) + a WAF (NinjaFirewall).
