Cloudflare Setup & Security Expert | WAF, Bots, DNS & SSL
Need expert Cloudflare setup that improves security without breaking customers, checkout flows, APIs, email, or analytics? I'm a US-based, CISSP-certified security engineer with 19 years in IT and cybersecurity, working through an insured US LLC. I configure, audit, troubleshoot, and harden Cloudflare for businesses that need reliable DNS, SSL/TLS, WAF, bot protection, rate limiting, caching, and origin security. CLOUDFLARE SETUP & CONFIGURATION - New account and zone setup - DNS migration, nameservers, DNSSEC, and email records - SSL/TLS configuration and HTTPS troubleshooting - WAF rules, rate limiting, bot controls, and DDoS protection - Cache rules, performance tuning, and WordPress integration - Origin lockdown and exposed-IP remediation SECURITY & TRAFFIC PROBLEMS I FIX - Bots, scraping, content theft, and AI crawlers - Carding, fake signups, credential stuffing, and checkout abuse - API abuse and rate-limit tuning - False positives blocking customers, admins, or integrations - DDoS attacks and sudden traffic surges - DNS, SSL/TLS, caching, and configuration failures CLEAN TRAFFIC, CLEAN ANALYTICS Bot traffic doesn't just cost bandwidth. It inflates sessions, distorts conversion rates, and feeds bad signals to Google and Meta. I block abuse at the edge before it reaches your site, analytics, or ad pixels, so the numbers you're optimizing against are real. HOW I WORK We agree on scope before any production change. I ask only for the access the job needs, document every change and rollback path, and explain the root cause in plain language. I sign NDAs. You work directly with me - no agency, no handoff, and no junior doing the actual work. I'm in US Mountain Time and available during the US business day. Send me your symptoms, Cloudflare plan, and whether you need initial setup, migration, troubleshooting, security hardening, or a configuration review. I'll recommend the most practical next step - even if it's something you can do yourself.
