Features

Everything the console can do.

HEIMWALL is one platform for security, delivery and visibility at the edge. Here is what you actually get — no add-ons, no unlock fees.

01

Security & rules

Visual rule builder

Compose conditions across 29 request attributes — IP type, country/ASN, bot category, path, header, method and more — then block, challenge, redirect or log. No code required.

Bot score engine

Every request gets a 0–100 bot score across 17 bot categories. Act on thresholds you set: let good bots through, challenge the gray zone, block the rest.

Challenge & failban

Automatic challenges verify suspicious clients, while brute-force protection (failban) bans abusive IPs automatically and lifts the ban when it expires.

Waiting room

During traffic spikes, hold visitors in a fair queue page and admit them at a steady rate — your origin stays healthy instead of falling over.

Custom block & error pages

Serve your own branded block and error pages, so a stopped attack still looks like your product — not a generic gateway error.

Rate limiting

Rule-based rate limits on any request attribute — IP, path or token — with a separate limit per rule. Abuse is cut at the edge before it ever loads your origin.

02

Delivery & performance

Edge & browser cache

Control edge cache and browser cache with separate TTLs, and serve faster with HTTP/3 and automatic compression.

Automatic SSL/TLS

Issue and renew certificates automatically over ACME, or upload your own. TLS terminates at the edge and your origin IP stays hidden.

Managed DNS

Run authoritative DNS with geo-routing that sends each visitor to the nearest PoP, plus health checks and automatic failover.

High availability origins

Run multiple origins Active-Active or Active-Passive. Health checks detect an origin going down and traffic fails over automatically.

Load balancing

Distribute requests across servers of different capacity with weighted balancing — add or remove origins from a single console.

Origin shield

Your origin IP stays fully hidden. The edge connects to your origin over the port and scheme (HTTP/HTTPS) you define, so attackers see only the wall.

Optimization

Brotli compression, auto-minify, image optimization and HTTP/3 are applied automatically in transit.

Zero-downtime deployment

When your CI/CD starts a deploy, the server is drained from traffic and visitors flow to another with no interruption. Once it finishes, HEIMWALL verifies health and returns it to traffic.

Multiple upstreams

Set up several servers as separate load-balanced groups, and run different backends and upstream pools by rule and condition.

03

Observability & analytics

Cookieless analytics

See visitor trends with a privacy-friendly, cookieless “estimated visitors” metric — insight without tracking, aligned with KVKK/GDPR.

Live logs & reports

Watch live access logs with advanced filtering, and pull usage reports by year, month or day with a per-region traffic breakdown.

Audit log & notifications

Every change is recorded in an audit log, alongside a history of the e-mail notifications the platform has sent.

Access log

A highly detailed access log with fast filtering — by response time, country or carrier — so everything stays under control and you spot errors quickly.

Cookie policy

Add cookies based on visitor consent via IAB TCF v2 (CMP consent string) and track consented visitors separately — and see every cookie HEIMWALL uses.

Health check

Watch all your origin servers from one screen and take them out or back in with the threshold rules you set. Every status change is reported to you.

04

Integration & platform

Webhooks & push

Push attack and anomaly events to your systems with HMAC-signed webhooks, and get mobile push notifications on the iOS and Android apps.

Full API

Everything in the console is available over the API, with scoped API keys so each integration gets exactly the access it needs.

Multi-platform support

Resellers can create users across multiple platforms and track each separately, offering seamless support with per-user redirect URLs.
