Question Main behind cloudflare (lb’s not)

[levent]

Hi guys, recently I was doing some checking of my findings that most providers only have main behind cloudflare and the load balancers not.

Are most people aware of this? Or am I seeing this wrong?

so what is the puprose left of the cf if only the main is behind it. The traffic doesn't go to the main and it only dictates where to point an incomming connection to and other adiministration stuff. Your lb's will still be exposed...

Bro what are you saying??

The reason should be to keep the Main secure isn't it and to prevent DOS atacks, but this only counts for Main and not LB's so this is the point im trying to prove. How could we also protect the LB's..
