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.

So what is happening under the hood? There is surprisingly a lot of technology behind it. Let us take a closer look.

When their requests collapsed at one point, they managed to make some of our customers uncomfortable.
