--- a/handler.bash (Vulnerable)
# Allow all incoming on port 443
+++ b/handler.bash (Remediated)
# Restrict port 443 to Cloudflare IP ranges only via iptables/UFW
sudo ufw allow from 173.245.48.0/20 to any port 443 proto tcp

Lock down your origin firewall to accept HTTPS traffic only from designated WAF edge proxy IP ranges.
