How It Works

Inspection at every layer

Every request passes through our stack of appliances. Bots, abuse and attacks are dropped before they reach your origin.

Capabilities

Everything an L7 application needs - in one proxy.

Application-layer DDoS, WAF rules, cache, image optimization and routing logic - without stitching together five different vendors.

Custom-built WAF

Our own Web Application Firewall engine - written by us, tuned for our network. No third-party stack, no per-rule licensing.

Different Protection Modes

Switch between standard, strict and under-attack modes per host. Tighten or relax in seconds without reconfiguration.

WebSocket Support

Real-time apps work out of the box - chat, dashboards, multiplayer, trading frontends. Long-lived upgraded connections handled correctly.

WWW Redirect

Automatic apex ↔ www canonicalization with permanent redirects, so your SEO stays consistent.

Edge Cache

Smart HTTP cache at our edge with full control over TTLs, cache keys and purge by tag, URL or wildcard.

Image Optimization

On-the-fly resizing, format conversion (WebP/AVIF) and quality tuning. Faster pages, smaller bills.

Asset Caching

Static assets are cached and served from the edge in the data center closest to your visitor.

Anycasted Edge

Traffic is terminated at the closest PoP. Lower latency, fewer round trips, faster TLS handshakes.

L7 threat coverage

Application-layer abuse, blocked at the edge.

L7 attacks look like real traffic until you look closer. TMW CDN / Proxy fingerprints the request, scores the client and decides before your origin ever sees a byte.

HTTP / HTTPS Floods

High-RPS GET and POST floods are absorbed and rate-limited per route, per token and per fingerprint - long before your application threads block.

Slowloris & Slow POST

Connections that drip headers or bodies for hours are detected and reaped at the edge. Your origin sockets stay free.

Credential Stuffing

Bots replaying breach lists against /login are scored by behavior, not just IP. Suspicious sessions get challenged or dropped.

Scraping & Hoarding

Automated scrapers building competitor catalogs are throttled by request shape, headless-browser tells and asset-fetch patterns.

OWASP Top 10

Built-in rules block SQL injection, XSS, RCE, path traversal, SSTI, deserialization and the rest of the usual suspects - tunable per host.

Bot Abuse

Sneakers, ticket scalpers, ad-fraud farms and inventory hoarders. Headless-browser detection plus behavioral scoring - not just user-agent strings.

API Abuse

Per-route quota, per-method limits and replay-attack detection on JSON / GraphQL / gRPC traffic. Idempotency-aware, not a blunt rate limiter.

Hotlinking & Bandwidth Theft

Referrer-based and signed-URL controls keep your images, video and downloads from being embedded on someone else's site.

Request lifecycle

How a request flows through TMW CDN / Proxy.

Five stages, deterministic, observable. You get a header on every response that tells you exactly where the decision was made.

01 - Edge

Anycast termination at the closest PoP

Clients hit the nearest PoP automatically. Modern transports (HTTP/2, HTTP/3, IPv6) handled out of the box.

02 - TLS

Managed TLS & SNI routing

Free, auto-renewed certificates or your own. Strong cipher policy, OCSP stapling and proper SNI multiplexing across thousands of hosts.

03 - WAF

Inspection by our own WAF engine

Header, body, and parameter inspection. OWASP rules, custom rules and behavioral scoring - all in one pass, microseconds per request.

04 - Cache

Edge cache & image optimization

Cacheable responses are served straight from the edge. Images are resized and re-encoded on the fly to WebP / AVIF.

05 - Origin

Forward to origin or fail open / closed

Healthy origin? Forward. Origin down? Serve stale cache or a maintenance page - never a blank 502.

Protection modes

Three modes, switchable per host.

Different sites need different postures. Switch between modes per hostname in seconds, no DNS change, no certificate juggling.

Standard

Production default

Full WAF, edge cache and bot scoring with a low false-positive rate. Designed to leave real users untouched.

  • OWASP rule set enabled
  • Heuristic bot scoring
  • Full cache & image optimization
  • Realistic challenge thresholds
Strict

When the noise rises

Tighter heuristics, more aggressive challenge thresholds and additional signals factored in. For sensitive routes or under sustained probing.

  • Aggressive bot scoring
  • Adaptive for unknown clients
  • Strict header validation
  • Per-fingerprint rate limits
Under Attack

Active incident mode

Maximum filtering. Every new visitor passes a JavaScript and proof-of-work challenge before reaching your origin. Toggle on, toggle off.

  • Mandatory JS challenge
  • Proof-of-work for unknowns
  • Geo and ASN gating ready to flip
  • Static fallback page available
Who runs on TMW CDN / Proxy

Made for the modern web.

From a one-pager landing page to a multi-region SaaS - the proxy adapts. Same engine, same dashboard, same pricing.

SaaS Dashboards

Authenticated, real-time, WebSocket-heavy. Sessions stay sticky, dashboards stay snappy, login pages stay un-stuffable.

E-commerce & Storefronts

Catalog and image-heavy sites get edge-served, cart and checkout get protected. Sale-day traffic doesn't melt your origin.

Content & Media

News, blogs, video portals. Smart cache rules, hotlinking control and image optimization - bandwidth bills drop without rework.

Public APIs

Per-route, per-key rate limits. Idempotency-aware. JSON, GraphQL and gRPC supported with per-method controls.

Login & Account Pages

Tightest mode, highest scrutiny. Bot scoring on every request, optional MFA-aware throttles, breach-list-aware blocking.

Multiplayer Frontends

WebSocket-native. Lobby, matchmaking and real-time chat stay open under load - long-lived connections handled correctly.

Why TMW CDN / Proxy

An honest reverse proxy.

Built in-house, priced flat, deployable today. No marketplace add-ons, no per-rule licensing, no contracts you'll regret.

Our Own WAF Engine

Written in-house, tuned for our network. We ship rule updates the same day a CVE drops - no vendor wait, no licensing tier required.

Flat, Predictable Pricing

No per-rule fees, no per-request meter. Bandwidth and requests are bundled into a flat fee that doesn't punish you for getting attacked.

Custom Rules - Not a Side Quest

Engineers write rules with you in real time. Geo gates, header asserts, regex bodies, signed cookies - whatever your shape needs.

Plays Well With Others

Stack TMW CDN / Proxy in front of, behind or beside another CDN. We don't insist on owning your DNS or your edge.

Same-Day Deployment

Point your DNS, pick a mode and you're live. No staging period, no minimum month, no on-prem appliance to rack.

Useful Observability

Per-route metrics, top blocked rules, top offenders and live tail. The same view our team uses - exposed in your portal.
