Azure Front Door
Azure Front Door is Microsoft’s global edge platform, combining CDN, load balancing and web application firewall capabilities. It is detected from the X-Azure-Ref header and related Azure edge response headers.
It fronts the origin and can challenge automated traffic, so it is a routing and protection layer rather than an indicator of site safety.
