+## CDN-based limits on GitLab.com
+
+In addition to application-based limits, GitLab.com is configured to use Cloudflare's standard DDoS protection and Spectrum to protect Git over SSH. Cloudflare terminates client TLS connections but is not application aware and cannot be used for limits tied to users or groups. Cloudflare page rules and rate limits are configured with Terraform. These configurations are [not public](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/communication/#not-public) because they include security and abuse implementations that detect malicious activities and making them public would undermine those operations.
