Get started

Every new account gets 7 days of Pro, no card. The steps below take you from the sign-up form to a rule that acts on your site.

1. Create the account

Create your account, confirm your e-mail and turn on two-factor sign-in; the dashboard asks for both before anything else. Then name your first site: the domain your visitors type.

2. Connect the site

The connector is what sees each request. Pick the one that matches where your site runs; the rules, the reports and the dashboard are the same whichever you choose. Choose the integration that fits your infrastructure compares them.

The connector is downloaded from the dashboard already set up for your site: open the site and go to Settings › Connector. It checks that the rules it receives were signed for your account, so nobody can feed it someone else’s rules.

3. Observe first

A new site starts in observe mode: the rules run, the dashboard shows what each one would have done, and nothing changes for your visitors. Leave it there for a day or two and read Events and reports: which visitors would have been challenged, blocked or queued, and why.

4. Enforce

When the numbers look right, switch the site to enforce. From then on the rules act: the challenge is shown, the block is a block, the queue holds people. Switching back to observe is one click, and the connector picks it up on its next check-in.

Where next: each product page tells you what it does and what the visitor sees, starting with Bot Management. What Free covers and what Pro adds is on Plans.
