Introducing Bunny Shield: Powerful security within reach of anyone

edited April 22 in Industry News

You and your team built something incredible. After spending hours and perhaps thousands, or even millions, of dollars to perfect every part of the code, user experience, and detail, you finally pushed it live.

People noticed, the service took off, and it felt like magic.

Then it happened: a massive DDoS attack took everything offline. At the same time, attackers brute-forced your login page, gained access to user data, and left you with angry users, a damaged brand, and a pile of lost revenue to recover.

As dramatic as it sounds, the unfortunate truth is we hear these stories all the time. The internet is a battlefield of DDoS attacks, bad bots, and exploits looking to cause damage wherever they can, and it's only getting worse.

The worst part? Most security companies mainly care about one thing: extracting as much money as possible from big enterprise contracts while leaving everyone else to fend for themselves.

Not anymore.

    Nice bunch of buzz words and promises.

    Just one question who vetted it?

    Bunny is not known in the security field.

    "We're thrilled to introduce Bunny Shield: a powerful, next-generation web security suite—built to democratize access to serious, scalable protection that supports you from the moment you go live."

    um, what?

    They will be never able to really compete with Cloudflare, because EU laws alone. They will be realistically proxying all content, and with that comes attention from authorities and with the ever decreasing freedom in EU, it may be tough for them.

    Interested how it develops, but I don't have my hopes up.

  • we built our own WAF engine and DDoS mitigation stack from scratch, deeply integrated into our reverse proxy and request processing pipeline for unmatched speed and precision.

    Indeed, WAF works if you route your traffic through their reverse proxy, not as a stand-alone software. Is very hard to compete with Cloudflare, but not impossible. Maybe they will have better WAF rules or a helper to generate those rules. For example, there are WAF providers specialized in protecting specific product like the new Sansec Shield for Magento ( https://sansec.io/guides/sansec-shield ) or better known Sucuri WAF.

    Good luck!

    It's also fair to note that Cloudflare has been not very good over the past year or so on the free package.
    Poor routing with frequent short timeouts, no less!?!

    Sure, what they charge $20 per month, per domain, is not too much for what they offer (in fact, the price is hard to beat), but they don't offer a budget option for sites like mine (with a .com website and a .net forum - so I'd need to pay $40 per month for both, as a non-profit).

    If bunny could build something decent, with more reasonable mid-price tiers, that might have some market share (though, yes, hard to beat Cloudflare).

    How are the women's rights going in the US?
    Why do EU universities have started relocation programs for US scientists and getting overwhelmed with requests?
    Why do we get refugee application from US LGBTQ people?

    The EU is definitely not perfect, but we ain't that bad either especially compared to the remaining western world.

    Let us not get into politics - if possible.

    Also: never compare yourself to the worst, strive for the best (students protesting against dictatorship in my country for almost 6 months, but digging cheap lithium is more important than freedom or health - so much about the EU - not that the US or Serbia for that matter are any better).

    I disagree, and all the "issues" you have pointed out aren't relevant at all to what we are discussing.
    EU is no match to US laws on content online, and responsibility for said content. That is a fact.
    It is a fact freedom of speech doesn't exist in large part of Europe, in Germany court convicted someone recently of saying that "germany has no freedom of speech". So now even saying it out loud is illegal.

    Bunny wont go anywhere with restrictive AUP on content that can be on their platform, CF got popular in the first place because they allowed everything. They will have to pray corporate pays for it, which goes against what they said their pathetic blog post. Not to mention, they are at mercy of Datacamp, a British company that provides them with most of their infra, Bunny doesn't even own prefixes they use.

    You literally cannot go anywhere close Cloudflare in a long term while freedom of speech is illegal where your company is.

    Providing CDN is one thing, it has a more limited scope as to what is being served from their platform.
    But a DDoS protection proxy will relay everything on the site, and this is where the issues will begin. It is not possible to moderate everything at this scale, and Cloudflare knows it best. That's why you need legal protections, which EU doesn't provide.

    I understand Anti-American sentiment of some people, but it stops them from being objective.
    They will find out quickly how "free" and great EU is, like Bluesky, a leftist Twitter alternative using Bunny, currently being investigated by EU.
