# Enable GraphQL traffic

## Motivation

By default, Link11 WAAP will block GraphQL traffic, for two reasons:

1. The size of the argument
2. [Content Filter Rule](/console-walkthrough/security/content-filter/rules.md) number **600110**, which contains this *Match* string: `([$@{}()\[\]].*){8,})`

## Enabling GraphQL traffic

To allow GraphQL traffic, create a [Content Filter Profile](/console-walkthrough/security/content-filter/profiles.md) with:

1. An *Argument Max Length* that will accommodate the maximum size of the queries
2. This tag in the *Ignore Content Filter Tags* list: `cf-rule-name:600110`

Then assign this Content Filter Profile to the location (i.e., the site or path) of the GraphQL queries via an appropriate [Security Policy](/console-walkthrough/security/security-policies.md).
