The team behind
always-on protection

OpenWaf is built and operated by engineers who spent a decade fighting real DDoS attacks.

OUR STORY

Built by people who lived through real attacks

OpenWaf started in Ankara in 2021, when our founders kept getting woken up at 3 AM by HTTP floods hammering game servers. Existing solutions were either too expensive or too slow — so we built our own edge filter.

Today we run 12 edge PoPs in 4 countries, filter billions of malicious requests every month and keep game networks, shops and hosts online through attacks peaking over 15 Tbps.
