Core security and acceleration capabilities, all included free, activate and use instantly, no extra fees

Custom WAF Rules

Identify anomalous access based on request characteristics. Supports block, observe, and challenge actions. AI-assisted rule generation lowers the configuration barrier.

Rate Limiting & IP Control

Control request frequency within specified time windows to prevent abnormal high-frequency requests and API abuse. Supports IP allow/block lists for precise access management.

Free HTTPS Certificates

Free certificates with automatic issuance and renewal, plus custom certificate upload. Supports Force HTTPS redirect and wildcard certificates.

CDN Edge Acceleration

Cache and distribute website resources through global edge nodes to reduce origin server load and improve access speed. Supports custom cache rules and cache purge/prefetch.

DNS Management

High-availability DNS service supporting all record types including A and CNAME. Enable the Proxy toggle to route traffic through edge nodes where security and acceleration rules take effect.

Traffic Analytics

Monitor requests, bandwidth, and page views in real time. Detect anomalous traffic spikes and evaluate the effectiveness of security rules and caching strategies.

Flexible security, configured your way

Basic security protection at the edge, helping you block malicious requests, control abnormal access, and keep your website safe

Custom WAF Rules

Set matching conditions via expressions to identify and handle anomalous access. Supports block, observe, and challenge actions. We recommend using observe mode first to validate before switching to block.

Rate Limiting

Control request frequency for specific paths or APIs — ideal for preventing API abuse and partial CC attacks. Configurable match scope, time window, and request threshold.

IP Access Control

Manage access policies by IP. Supports single IPs, IP ranges, and multi-IP lists. Block attack sources, allow trusted IPs, or challenge suspicious visitors.

AI-Assisted Rule Generation

Describe your protection scenario in natural language and AI generates the rule expression. Great for users unfamiliar with expression syntax — quickly create path protection, User-Agent filtering, and more.

Faster pages, better experience

Through edge caching and intelligent distribution, effectively reduce origin server load and improve user access speed

Custom Cache Rules

Control which resources are cached and for how long. Set longer cache durations for static resources; be cautious with dynamic pages. Multiple rules support priority ordering.

Cache Purge

When origin content updates, purge cache by URL, file, directory, or all. Ensures users always get the latest content.

Cache Prefetch

Preload specific URL resources to edge nodes in advance. Before launching new pages, running campaigns, or releasing major updates, prefetch core resources so visits hit the cache faster.

HTTPS & Certificate Management

Free certificates issued automatically, with support for custom and wildcard certificate uploads. One-click Force HTTPS to ensure full-site encrypted access.

Getting started is simple — zero cost.

01

Register a Domain and Confirm Domain NS

Register a domain on NamesLink and ensure your domain Nameserver points to NamesLink (ns1.nameslink.com / ns2.nameslink.com). Once NS propagates, the system automatically creates your security & acceleration site.

Domains registered on NamesLink use NamesLink NS by default — no extra setup needed.
