Itnetic Technologies is an edge network security and acceleration service for websites, APIs, and game servers, with its core capabilities being Layer 7 DDoS protection and CDN. The official website positions it as an alternative to Cloudflare, emphasizing that "bots are challenged, real customers pass straight through," with no CAPTCHA and no waiting.
【Purpose】 Itnetic is used to protect online services from DDoS attacks while accelerating access for real users. It is suitable for scenarios where you want to add protection and CDN for websites, APIs, and game servers without changing your existing hosting or architecture.
【Main Capabilities】
- Layer 7 DDoS protection: filters flood attacks, slow drip, credential stuffing, and bots disguised as customers. Volumetric floods are filtered at the edge; traffic that mimics human browsing, login, and checkout is identified by deeper detection mechanisms.
- Bot challenge mechanism: only bots see the challenge, while real customers pass straight through, with no CAPTCHA. It can distinguish returning customers, headless browsers, and known flood sources.
- WAF, rate limiting, waiting room, and per-request logging: the official website states that every feature is available in all plans, and the free plan also includes the waiting room, managed WAF rules, per-request logging, and origin load balancing.
- Logging and visibility: provides unsampled per-request logs. The dashboard lists every request that was challenged and blocked, as well as visitors who continued to be served, making it easier to troubleshoot when customers report being unable to access.
- CDN: edge caching, compression, and cache purge run on the same network nodes as protection, reducing latency and origin load. Every POP runs the full stack (challenge, WAF, rate limiting, and caching), and traffic is scrubbed at the node closest to the sender.
- Game protection: blocks bots from joining, ping floods, and connection attacks, with no plugins or mods required.
- Free security scoring tool: no account required; enter any public URL, read the response headers the browser receives, and identify missing items, their impact, and the configuration lines to fix them. The official website states that no data is stored, and scans run from the edge and show the raw response.
- Protection covers websites, APIs, and game servers: one edge network is placed in front of all three, filtering attacks and accelerating real traffic via CDN.
【How to Use】 The official website states that installation requires no hardware, no proxy, no nameserver changes, and no service invoice. Setup only requires adding two DNS records at your existing DNS provider. You can migrate just one hostname, verify it in the logs, and thenmigrate the rest. The main POP nodes include: Frankfurt (FRA), Prague (PRG), Toronto (TOR), and Singapore (SGP).
【Applicable Scenarios】
- Websites and APIs need DDoS protection without breaking the client experience;
- Game servers need to block connection attacks and bots from joining;
- Migrating from Cloudflare or another provider and wanting all features available in all plans;
- Scenarios requiring per-request logging, WAF, and CDN on the same network.
【Limitations】 Official materials do not provide information such as specific pricing, plan bandwidth limits, number of domains, SLA, support channels, or compliance certifications; these facts are not yet available. The free Starter plan has the same features as Enterprise, with the only difference being usage (domains and bandwidth).
