Blackwall

• BotGuard Web Protection

  Cloud-based bot detection and mitigation for individual websites. Integrates at the web server level without DNS redirect. Behavioral analysis distinguishes legitimate crawlers from malicious bots.

• GateKeeper Reverse Proxy

  Distributed reverse proxy cluster for hosting providers. Sits in front of all hosted websites, providing transparent security without per-site configuration. Scales with hosting provider infrastructure.

• HTTP/3 QUIC Support

  GateKeeper supports HTTP/3 with QUIC protocol, providing better performance on high-latency and lossy connections. Automatic protocol negotiation for browsers that support it.

• Automatic SSL Management

  GateKeeper handles TLS 1.3 certificates automatically. SSL certificates are provisioned and renewed without manual intervention, reducing operational burden for hosting providers managing thousands of domains.

• WAF with OWASP Top 10

  Rule-based WAF protecting against SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and other OWASP Top 10 attack vectors. Rules updated by the Blackwall security team.

• Behavioral Bot Detection

  Uses behavioral analysis to classify traffic as human, good bot (search engine crawlers), or malicious bot. Goes beyond simple user-agent checking to analyze request patterns and behavior.

• Rate Limiting

  Configurable rate limiting to mitigate brute force attacks, credential stuffing, and application-level DDoS. Can be applied per IP, per endpoint, or globally.

• CDN Caching Layer

  GateKeeper includes a caching layer that absorbs traffic spikes and reduces load on origin servers. Static content is served from the proxy layer, improving response times.

• Free Monitoring Mode

  Observe bot traffic and threat patterns without blocking anything. Useful for evaluation and traffic profiling. Available for both BotGuard and GateKeeper deployments.

Bunny Shield

  Next-gen WAF engine that blocks zero-day exploits, OWASP Top 10, and emerging risks with AI recommendations and real-time logs.

• DDoS Protection

  Volumetric and application-layer DDoS mitigation backed by 250+ Tbps network capacity across 119 global scrubbing centers.

• Global Rate Limiting

  Set precise rate limits per IP, user, or path globally across your entire infrastructure to control abuse.

• Bot Mitigation

  Detect, block, and neutralize malicious bots in real time using behavioral fingerprinting without impacting legitimate users.

• Access Lists

  Block traffic using curated threat lists for VPNs, Tor nodes, and other threat sources, or create custom access controls.

• Upload Scanning

  Automatically scan uploaded files for viruses, malware, and CSAM to prevent harmful content from reaching your platform.
