BunnyCDN DDoS protection is made to protect their servers and the customers, it's not meant to serve your service as a shield against attacks.

This is a common misconception with many providers, they have DDoS protection to ensure that an attack against them won't cause your website/service being unavailable, however, if an attack targets your service, it most likely won't be filtered by their system.

It usually does cover volumetric attacks since those usually bring everything down with it.

As to layer 7 or other types of attacks, it’s a tough call. You need specialized services. Cloudflare does great for its price. It’s not like the big cloud providers reliably solve this problem either.
