Cloudflare Spectrum vs OpenSSL: What are the differences?
Cloudflare Spectrum: DDoS protection for TCP services. Extend the power of Cloudflare's DDoS, TLS, and IP Firewall to not just your web servers, but also your other TCP-based services, keeping them online and secure. Reduce the ability for attackers to snoop and steal sensitive data. Protect your origin and all TCP services you expose to the Internet; OpenSSL: Full-featured toolkit for the Transport Layer Security and Secure Sockets Layer protocols. It is a robust, commercial-grade, and full-featured toolkit for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols. It is also a general-purpose cryptography library.
Cloudflare Spectrum and OpenSSL can be categorized as "Security" tools.
Some of the features offered by Cloudflare Spectrum are:
- DDoS Protection for TCP Services - ensures all your TCP services are protected against Layer 3 and 4 DDoS attacks, remaining online and performant
- Secure TCP traffic with TLS - encrypts services running on TCP to prevent unencrypted data, such as user credentials, from falling into the wrong hands
- IP Address & Range Blocking - integrates with Cloudflare’s IP Firewall, allowing you to block or challenge IP addresses or entire IP ranges from reaching your TCP services
On the other hand, OpenSSL provides the following key features:
- Robust
- Commercial-grade
- Transport Layer Security
