Show HN: I created a BGP-based blackhole system that you can set up in minutes
Shield is a new BGP-based blackhole service that allows individual network operators to block malicious traffic upstream. It provides real-time threat intelligence and automated routing configurations for a monthly fee, bypassing the need for complex transit contracts.
Why it matters
It democratizes enterprise-grade DDoS mitigation for smaller networks and individual routers, potentially increasing internet security for smaller players.
Large ISPs and enterprise networks block attacks the same way: dropping malicious traffic upstream, before it ever reaches you, not after. Normally that takes a transit contract and a network engineering team. Shield brings that same real-time threat intelligence to a single router for $59/month.
