Tempesta FW is a hybrid solution that combines a reverse proxy and a firewall at the same time. It accelerates Web applications and protects them against DDoS attacks and Web application attacks.

We do our best to keep the kernel modifications as small as possible. Current patch is just about 2,000 lines.
