Everything to protect your servers

Hide Your Server IPs

Block SQL injection, XSS, and common attacks automatically. Malicious traffic gets stopped before it reaches your servers.

10 servers, 10 data centers - all behind 1-2 shield IPs. Route traffic to the right server based on domain, all from one dashboard.
Automatic SSL Certificates
Free Let's Encrypt certificates auto-provisioned and auto-renewed. HTTPS for every domain, zero manual work.
Auto Failover
Using multiple shield servers? If one goes down, traffic automatically routes to healthy ones. Zero downtime, no manual intervention.

Best of both worlds
Full-featured server protection with self-hosted control. Easier than doing it yourself, more ownership than managed services.

Lumos Gate exists for a specific need: when you want to run your own protection layer on servers you own and control, with full privacy over your traffic and data. You can even use Cloudflare in front of your Lumos shield servers for an additional layer of protection.
