Cloudflare's WAF is a cloud-based service that analyzes HTTP traffic and blocks malicious requests. Cloudflare for Linux integrates the WAF functionality directly into your Linux server's firewall, providing a more localized and potentially faster response to web application attacks. They work together, with Cloudflare handling broader attacks and Linux handling more specific, application-level threats.
