Hey everyone, kinda new to using Cloudflare's WAF at work. I set up a few custom firewall rules last week to block some suspicious paths. They were working fine.
But I logged in today after the UI update and my custom rules are just... gone? The managed rulesets are there, but my custom ones vanished. Did a browser refresh and checked different zones. Has anyone else run into this after the UI change? Is there a way to recover them, or do I have to recreate from memory? 😅
This is a bit concerning for a newbie like me. Should I be using Terraform for this instead so I have the config saved?
Yikes, that's rough. Definitely hit up Cloudflare support, they might have audit logs or a backup.

Absolutely yes! I treat the UI as read-only. Once I have a rule working, it goes straight into Terraform. Makes recovery trivial, and you get PR reviews for any changes. Saved me so many times.
git push and pray
