  2. Go to Account Home > Application Security > DDoS > Advanced TCP Protection.

  3. Under General settings > Prefixes, select Edit.

  4. Expand the Add existing prefix section and select Add next to the prefix you wish to add.
    Alternatively, enter a prefix and (optionally) a description in Prefix and Description, respectively, and select Add.
