Adding Web Protection¶
This guide walks you through enabling Web Protection for your web application using GatewaySentry. Web Protection shields your site from malicious traffic by routing it through GatewaySentry's anycasted network before it ever reaches your server.
The walkthrough is split into three steps, followed by a troubleshooting page for common issues.
Before You Begin¶
Make sure you have the following ready before starting:
- Access to your GatewaySentry account with the correct Organization selected.
- Your web application's Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) — for example,
www.yoursite.com. - Your web application's IP address or host address.
- Access to your domain's DNS settings (through your domain registrar or DNS provider), as you will need to add a DNS record during this process.
Setup Walkthrough¶
Follow these steps in order to set up Web Protection.
- Step 1 — Select Your Organization and Create a New Instance
- Step 2 — Enter Your Web Application's Details
