# Cloudflare Security Checks on Your FeatureOS Domain

_By Swathy  · Jul 22, 2025_

If you’re seeing a Cloudflare verification screen while accessing your FeatureOS workspace (on either a custom or non-custom domain), here’s what’s going on - and why it’s a sign the system is working as it should.

#### 🔒 Why am I seeing this?

This isn’t an issue on FeatureOS’s end. These checks are triggered by **Cloudflare**, our security partner, to protect your workspace during periods of **unusual or potentially harmful traffic**. This can include:

-   Sudden spikes in traffic
    
-   High volume of requests from multiple IPs
    
-   Suspicious bot activity or scraping attempts
    
-   DDoS-like patterns
    

For example, in a recent case, over **431,000** requests were automatically mitigated by Cloudflare from a total of **21.99 million** - all without any manual intervention.

#### ✅ What happens next?

Cloudflare’s Web Application Firewall (WAF) works in real-time. These checks are **temporary** and **automatically turn off** once the suspicious activity drops and traffic returns to normal.

Importantly:

-   These checks do **not** block legitimate users - they simply verify access before proceeding.
    
-   Disabling this layer fully would expose all FeatureOS workspaces to significant risk and potential downtime.
    

#### ❓Why don’t we see this on other sites?

Bot traffic patterns aren’t consistent. Just because one site doesn’t experience it today doesn’t mean it won’t in the future. FeatureOS proactively maintains a secure environment - and Cloudflare is one of the tools helping us do that without affecting your core data or functionality.
