ServerShield WAF

ServerShield WAF blocks malicious traffic, hides your origin server, and keeps your website fast and online, all with 24/7 UK-based support.

Enterprise-grade protection built to scale with you.

We provide a fully managed anycast proxy service that sits in front of your web hosting infrastructure, filtering out malicious traffic before it ever reaches your origin server.

What is ServerShield WAF?

ServerShield sits in front of your web hosting infrastructure as an anycast proxy, acting as the first point of contact for every visitor who reaches your website. Traffic is routed through Shield's network of strategically placed nodes before it ever touches your origin server, keeping your real IP address hidden and your infrastructure shielded from direct attack.

To your visitors, nothing changes. Behind the scenes, every connection is being checked, filtered, and protected, without adding any noticeable delay.

    Built-in protection, layer by layer

    Shield combines multiple layers of active defence into a single, easy-to-manage service:

    • Threat Feed Protection - connections are checked in real time against known malicious IPs and continuously updated intelligence feeds.
    • Bot Scoring & Rate Limiting - automated systems separate genuine visitors from bots and scrapers.
    • Country Blocking - restrict access by geography with simple, region-level rules.
    • Crawler Monitoring - keep aggressive or unauthorised crawlers under control.
    • IP Whitelisting - trusted sources like payment gateways or office IPs always connect without interruption.
    • SSL Offloading - HTTPS termination at the proxy layer, easing load on your origin server.

    And because every connection is processed entirely within the UK, your data stays on British soil, backed by 24/7 UK-based support from a team who knows your setup.
