Behind the scenes of WEDOS Global Protection: what it takes to build a European shield against DDoS attacks

Most of our customers do not even know that they have WEDOS Global Protection enabled. They only see a website that is running quietly and does not even notice the attacks. But only a few hours earlier, it may have been a problematic website that was overloading the server and affecting other customers. Within five minutes, our support team redirected the traffic from the server to more than one hundred anycast reverse proxies, which immediately started filtering the traffic. So what is happening under the hood? There is surprisingly a lot of technology behind it. Let us take a closer look.

Strongest DDoS attack of 2022 rewrites last year’s record

In recent weeks, cyberspace has been a war zone. Of course, not everything is Russia’s fault. The current chaos is also being exploited by a number of organized groups, so we are seeing more phishing, application layer attacks with extortion, and traditional DDoS attacks. But let’s not forget that Russia demonstrated its new HermeticWiper data-erasing malware early in the war. It quickly spread beyond Ukraine. It can affect you too. So our challenge still stands – back up your data to yourself wherever you have it!

The number of blocked traffic exceeded 60% or how we have made progress in protecting your websites

It’s been about four and a half years since we started filtering traffic for web hosts with our IPS/IDS protection. Advanced threat detection and elimination system. The original filtering rules can no longer be compared to today’s. They are far more benevolent, yet more effective than ever before.

How we “slept through” the most powerful DDoS attack ever launched against us and nobody noticed

Just a week ago, I bragged on social media how we were hit by another major DDoS attack after a long time (traffic was up to 32 Gbps with 5-minute averages). Well, we almost missed the record holder. Or rather, they overslept because we didn’t even notice.

The near future or what awaits us now

We regularly write about upcoming services such as WMS, WEDOS Cloud or B2B/VIP. However, these are more or less at the door. Specifically for WMS, we are fine-tuning the final details for the public beta test and expect to launch the service in August. WEDOS Cloud is stuck on a few small issues that the engineers will soon resolve and we are testing the final details. The new B2B/VIP is already in test operation. As far as the WEDOS 2 Datacentre is concerned, they are already finishing the works there so that the test operation can start after the holidays. The Datacent WEDOS 1 upgrade has successfully completed the first part of two. But what’s next? 😉
