Websocket data upload
Iam new to this CDN concepts I need some help
I have collecting data from users through websockets and stream them in my website (not live video streaming). I was only working with my server to do this but recent days the users have been increased so I know that cloud flare support web socket through tunneling. But what about the users uploading will it take up with CDN or by using tunneling do I loose my AdSense?
Pls help it's very urgent

The CDN won't help with websockets because those are direct connections to your origin server. Cloudflare supports websocket connections through it but the only products that I am aware of that take place are stuff like the firewall
Also keep in mind that the WAF is only applied on initial connection (the 101 Upgrade handshake), not ongoing WebSocket messages - meaning blocks will be applied initially but then rules will be ignored for WebSocket packets.
