Wafler focuses on providing advanced DDoS protection, real-time attack mitigation, and flexible firewall rules for websites and APIs, with an emphasis on EU privacy at its core. Its goal is to keep services running smoothly during attacks while giving teams direct control over firewall behavior and rules, protecting application paths.
Purpose
Wafler is used to protect websites and APIs from distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, ensuring services remain available during attacks. It is suitable for teams that need to defend against high-volume, protocol-layer, and application-layer attacks and want transparent, configurable protection. The materials state that it can help teams protect users without sacrificing performance and "say goodbye to downtime forever."
Main capabilities
- DDoS protection and web firewall: Detects and mitigates malicious traffic at L3/L4 and L7, providing fast, configurable, and transparent DDoS protection.
- Advanced Layer 7 DDoS protection: Uses advanced protection to handle various L7 attacks, combining challenge logic, behavioral scoring, and rate control.
- XDP Layer 3/4 firewall: Reportedly defeats attacks faster than traditional solutions.
- Custom firewall rules: Allows creating and customizing protection rules tailored to specific endpoints, regions, or traffic characteristics.
- Load balancing: Distributes incoming traffic across multiple servers.
- Anti-AI crawler: Protects websites from malicious AI bots.
- Real-time adaptive: The system adapts in real time to incoming attack patterns, continuously updating DDoS mitigation logic, and can adjust challenge pages, firewall rules, and request handling to block bots while not affecting legitimate users.
- Machine learning detection: Uses machine learning algorithms to detect and mitigate attacks in real time, combining detection, enforcement, and monitoring to reduce false positives and keep response times predictable.
- Traffic insights and analytics: Provides traffic insights to help adjust DDoS mitigation strategies and reduce false positives; includes simple analytics and attack notifications.
- Multi-layer coordination: DDoS protection, transport filtering, routing control, analytics, anti-bot defense, and managed firewall rules are integrated in one place.
How to use
Users can manage protection, configure firewall rules, and view analytics through the Dashboard. Support channels include Discord, Dashboard, and email, and the materials state that fast, practical, and direct support can be obtained within minutes, with quick responses across all platforms.
Applicable scenarios
Suitable for teams that need to protect websites, APIs, dashboards, and shop workloads, especially organizations that want to customize firewall rules for specific endpoints, regions, or traffic signatures and need real-time mitigation, load balancing, and anti-AI crawler capabilities. Custom enterprise solutions are also offered, which can map infrastructure and design DDoS protection configurations, mitigation playbooks, and firewall rules.
Pricing and plans
The materials provide "simple, transparent pricing," including plans such as Basic, Advanced, and Enterprise (the names listed in the materials are Advanced DDoS Protection and Enterprise DDoS Protection). Basic includes advanced DDoS protection, attack notifications, and simple analytics; Advanced includes all Basic features, unlimited firewall rules, and appearance customization; Enterprise includes enterprise-grade DDoS protection, private networking, priority support, and unlimited domains. Specific prices are not yet provided.
Limitations and notes
The materials state that attacks can be detected and mitigated within 1 second and that volumetric, protocol, and application-layer attacks can be protected against. The main data storage servers are located in the EU, with a privacy-first architecture, GDPR-aligned and compliance-oriented operations, and more formal certifications are in progress. The materials do not provide a free trial, specific prices, SLA figures, or platform compatibility details.
