Security and Acceleration,
Built Into Every Domain
Manage domains on NamesLink for free WAF, CDN, HTTPS, and analytics. Faster, safer, zero extra cost
Protection and acceleration, all in one
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.
All core capabilities included free
NamesLink Security & Acceleration provides free security and acceleration — no upsells, no hidden fees
Flexible Edge Security
Block malicious requests at the edge and protect your website.
Edge Caching & Distribution
Cache resources at edge nodes to reduce origin server load.
Three steps to activate, effective instantly
No plan purchase required, complete in minutes
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.
Configure DNS & Enable Proxy
Add A or CNAME records pointing to your origin in the console, then toggle the Proxy switch. Traffic will flow through edge nodes where WAF and acceleration rules take effect.
Console entry: Add-on Products > Security & Acceleration, or the SA card on your domain details page.
Configure Security & Caching
Set up WAF rules, rate limiting, IP controls, and caching policies based on your needs. You can also apply for free HTTPS certificates or upload custom certificates and enable Force HTTPS.
For new rules, start with 'Observe' mode to validate effectiveness and reduce the risk of false blocks.
