BOT PROTECTION / DEPLOYMENT
Cloudflare vs TraBotPro
Bot protection.
Without changing your DNS.
Compare Cloudflare’s bot products with TraBotPro’s local Hypernode protection. The focus is bot detection, verification and policy control.
THE LOCAL DEPLOYMENT ADVANTAGEYour DNS stays.
Your DNS stays.
Your nameservers stay.
TraBotPro runs on Hypernode itself. Add local bot protection without changing where your domain points.

01 / SIDE BY SIDE
The details that matter.
The key choice: enforce bot policies at Cloudflare’s proxy, or locally on the Hypernode running your store.
| Consideration | Cloudflare | TraBotPro |
|---|---|---|
| Where protection runs | Cloudflare bot protection applies to traffic passing through its proxy. [2] | Runs on Hypernode itself, before requests proceed to the protected application. |
| DNS & nameservers | Partial CNAME setup can retain your DNS provider on Business/Enterprise; proxied records still point to Cloudflare. [2] | No DNS or nameserver changes are required for the local installation. |
| Bot detection | Enterprise Bot Management exposes per-request bot scores for granular rules. [1] | Combines request signals, supported crawler verification and behavioural scenarios; not Cloudflare’s scoring model. |
| Policy granularity | Bot Fight Mode, Super Bot Fight Mode and Enterprise Bot Management have different controls. [1] | Bot and category policies, site overrides and route-specific protection; advanced options depend on edition. |
| AI & verified bots | Enterprise controls include AI crawler blocking and verified-bot category rules. [3] | Separate AI training and AI search categories with overrides for individual supported bots. |
| Hosting scope | Protection runs through Cloudflare’s service rather than a local Hypernode installation. [2] | Hypernode today. Support for other hosting environments is planned. |
Cloudflare’s free Bot Fight Mode is not equivalent to Enterprise Bot Management. Compare the controls in the actual plan you would buy. TraBotPro does not claim the same detection engine or network-wide signals.
