A large stream of hostile traffic is absorbed at the edge while a thin clean stream continues to the protected origin.

Attacks stop at the edge. Your users never notice.
DDoS attacks work by overwhelming your infrastructure with traffic until legitimate users can’t get through. CrownWall absorbs that traffic at the network edge — far from your origin — filtering out the attack while clean requests continue uninterrupted.
Because filtering happens in-line as part of the same pipeline handling your WAF and bot protection, there’s no separate appliance to deploy and no detour that adds latency for real users.
Inline mitigation
The same request path handles DDoS mitigation, WAF inspection, and bot control — no extra hop, no separate box, no latency penalty for clean traffic.

Protection across every layer attackers use.
Coverage from volumetric floods up through application-layer exhaustion.
Volumetric attacks (L3/L4)
UDP floods, SYN floods, amplification and reflection attacks that try to saturate your bandwidth.
Protocol attacks
Attacks that exhaust connection-state resources on servers, firewalls, and load balancers.
Application-layer attacks (L7)
Low-and-slow request floods, HTTP floods, and targeted endpoint exhaustion designed to look like real traffic.
The hard one is L7.
Volumetric attacks are loud and relatively easy to spot. Application-layer attacks hide inside normal-looking requests — and that’s where CrownWall’s combined WAF, bot, and rate-limiting intelligence makes the difference. The same engine that knows your traffic patterns knows when they’re being faked.
An attack shouldn't cost you twice.
With usage-metered providers, a large attack means a large bill — you pay for the malicious traffic you didn’t want. CrownWall’s flat pricing means an attack costs you nothing extra.
You pay for legitimate traffic; the attack is our problem, not your invoice.
Predictable under pressure
No surprise billing spikes when an attack happens. Defence is included in the platform, not charged back to the customer as attack volume.
