Edge Protection • SSL • DNS • Monitoring • Challenge
One platform with multiple essential web protections
SecureLayer is designed to place a controlled, secure and
scalable edge layer in front of your website, instead of exposing
your origin server directly to the internet.
1. Edge-based protection and acceleration
SecureLayer places a protection and delivery layer in front
of your website. Visitors first reach SecureLayer EDGE
servers, which then forward requests to your original
server, also known as the origin server.
- edge-based reverse proxy operation
- origin server shielding from direct public traffic
- HTTP/HTTPS traffic forwarding
- WebSocket support
- IPv6 and modern web protocol support
- multi-edge node delivery capability
2. Automated SSL certificate management
SecureLayer can automatically manage SSL certificates for
websites. This helps make HTTPS connections safer and easier
to operate.
- Let’s Encrypt SSL issuance
- automatic certificate synchronization to edge nodes
- SSL status monitoring
- certificate expiry tracking
- custom SSL certificate upload option
- managed and custom SSL mode support
3. Custom SSL certificate support
If a customer does not want to use an automatically issued
certificate and already has their own SSL certificate,
SecureLayer can manage that separately.
- upload custom certificate and private key
- activate custom SSL mode
- deploy certificates to edge nodes
- return to managed SSL mode after deletion
- automatic edge configuration regeneration
4. DNS management and domain routing
SecureLayer DNS features make it possible to manage the
technical operation of a domain from one central system.
This simplifies the administration of records, zones and
security-related settings.
- DNS zone management
- A, AAAA, CNAME and other record management
- wildcard record support
- DNSSEC support direction
- recommended records for external DNS usage
- support for ACME validation-related settings
5. Origin management and load balancing
The system can handle multiple origin operating modes. This
is useful when a website has multiple backend servers, or
when failover to a backup server is important.
- single origin mode
- failover origin mode
- active-active origin operation
- origin port configuration
- primary and secondary origin support
- future health check-based automatic switching capability
6. Security headers and basic web protection
The SecureLayer edge layer can apply basic security headers
and protection rules that may help reduce the risk of certain
web-based attacks.
- security HTTP header configuration
- X-Frame-Options protection
- nosniff protection
- HSTS support
- basic rate limiting capabilities
- foundation for filtering suspicious traffic
7. SecureLayer Challenge / bot protection
SecureLayer’s own challenge system can help filter automated,
suspicious or unwanted traffic. It can be especially useful
for login pages, forms, API endpoints or websites under
attack.
- custom challenge page
- smart, force and off challenge modes
- token-based validation
- domain allowlist
- site key and secret-based operation
- verification event logging
- usage that can be tied to plan limits
8. Acceleration and cache capabilities
SecureLayer’s architecture is suitable for introducing cache
functions. The goal is to serve static assets and selected
web responses faster from the edge layer.
- foundation for static content acceleration
- possibility to define cache rules
- planned host-based cache purge support
- cookie-based cache bypass capability
- future support for custom cache rules
Note: cache features can be expanded
gradually. The core edge infrastructure required for this is
already in place.
9. Monitoring and availability tracking
As part of the SecureLayer ecosystem, websites and services
can also be monitored. This helps detect outages, slowdowns
and SSL-related issues faster.
- HTTP/HTTPS availability checks
- status code monitoring
- response time measurement
- SSL expiry monitoring
- separate origin and edge status inspection
- logging of errors and slow responses
- preparation for alerting options
10. Logging and transparency
The system records important operations, making it easier for
both customers and operators to follow what happened to a
domain, SSL certificate or edge configuration.
- SSL issuance logs
- edge configuration events
- error messages and statuses
- certificate expiry information
- administrative events
- security events
11. Multi-user customer panel
SecureLayer aims to let customers manage their domains,
services, SSL settings and security features from a central
customer panel.
- customer account-based operation
- permission management
- admin and customer roles
- domain and service lists
- SSL status display
- action buttons and clear feedback
12. API and automation capabilities
SecureLayer’s architecture is suitable for future API-based
control. This can be important for resellers, developers,
hosting providers and larger customers.
- central control logic
- queue-based background operations
- automated edge configuration deployment
- automated SSL workflows
- DNS API integration capability
- future public API and integration options
13. Who is SecureLayer useful for?
SecureLayer is built for customers who need more than just
hosting or a server. It provides an additional protection and
management layer in front of their websites.
- business websites
- online stores
- agencies
- developers
- hosting providers
- SaaS platforms
- more critical online services
14. How is it different from regular hosting?
Traditional hosting usually only serves the website.
SecureLayer, on the other hand, sits in front of the website
and adds additional protection, SSL, DNS, monitoring and edge
capabilities.
- not only serving, but also protection
- not only SSL, but SSL management
- not only DNS records, but DNS control
- not only logs, but security event tracking
- not only a website, but an edge-connected infrastructure
15. Current and expandable functions
SecureLayer is a continuously expandable platform. Several
functions already have working foundations, while larger
enterprise-level capabilities can be introduced gradually.
Existing or usable foundations
- edge reverse proxy
- Let’s Encrypt SSL automation
- custom SSL certificate management
- DNS management foundations
- origin mode management
- security header handling
- challenge / bot protection
- logging and status tracking
- monitoring integration direction
Under development or planned directions
- detailed cache engine
- cache purge functions
- advanced WAF rules
- detailed traffic analytics
- geo-based routing
- extended API access
- reseller and SaaS integrations
16. In short
SecureLayer is a Hungarian-developed edge and security
platform that can be placed in front of websites to help
manage traffic more securely, automate SSL certificates,
control DNS, filter bot traffic and make operational
processes more transparent.
It is not just a hosting service. It is a protection and
control layer between your website and the internet.
