Free Layer 7 Web DDoS protection for evaluation (from Germany)

2•linkeleven•1h ago
Hey HN,

I’m with the dev department at Link11, a German company that’s been building DDoS protection for 20 years now. We’re now offering a free tester package (promo code hacker100 at https://www.link11.com/en/plans/) for our WAAP (= Web & API) Protection so everyone can evaluate the usefulness for themselves. It’s fully live, always-on, and filters malicious traffic to protect your domain/webserver. The setup is easy: after registering, you can point your DNS to the IPs of our reverse proxies and you’re protected.

I’m sharing this because we want to get more insight the usability of our product, and I think this is probably beneficial for everyone that want's to test whether they actually need protection and don't want to rely on US companies.

Please also feel free to comment or DM. I am happy to answer technical questions, Bjoern - R&D at Link11
