BUILT ON OPEN-SOURCE TECHNOLOGY

How It Works

A shield server for $5/month

Buy a cheap VPS with DDoS protection, install our agent with one command. It becomes a shield server that hides and protects your real infrastructure.

Protect Unprotected Servers

Have a powerful server without DDoS protection? Put a $5 DDoS-protected VPS in front. Attacks hit the shield, not your real server.

Hide Your Real IPs

Your server IPs stay completely private. Visitors only see the shield server. Configure your firewall to only accept connections from it.

Manage Multiple Servers

10 servers with 10 different IPs? Route them all through 1-2 shield servers. One dashboard to manage everything.

How Traffic Flows

Shield Server

Platform Features

Everything to protect your servers

Turn any VPS into a shield for your infrastructure. No technical expertise needed - our agent handles everything.

Hide Your Server IPs

Your real server IPs stay completely private. Visitors only see the shield server's IP. Attackers can't target what they can't find.

Built-in Firewall

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

Multiple Servers, One Entry Point

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.

Privacy by Design

Zero-knowledge architecture. We never see your traffic or store logs. Everything runs on servers you own and control.

Why Lumos?

Best of both worlds

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

We use and recommend Cloudflare for most projects - they offer an incredibly generous free tier. 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.

Consolidate Your Servers

10 servers, 10 data centers - all hidden behind 1-2 shield IPs. One dashboard to manage everything.

True Redundancy

Multiple shield servers across regions. One goes down? Traffic auto-routes to healthy ones. Zero manual intervention.

Privacy by Design

Zero-knowledge architecture. We never inspect your traffic, never store logs, and no government can compel data we don't have.

Real Use Cases

How teams use Lumos Gate

From game servers to enterprise APIs - hide your real servers and manage everything from one dashboard

Hide your game servers behind a shield VPS. DDoS attacks hit the shield, not your expensive dedicated server. Swap IPs in minutes if targeted.

Game Server Protection

Game server operators

Keep your store servers invisible. Built-in firewall blocks SQL injection, XSS, and bot attacks. Auto SSL certificates for every domain.

E-Commerce Security

Online store owners

Deploy shield servers in multiple regions. If one goes down, traffic automatically routes to the next. Your servers stay protected across all regions.

Multi-Region Failover

SaaS teams

Handle millions of requests per second on a cheap VPS. Rate limiting and bot protection built-in. Your server IPs never exposed in DNS records.
